Amazing craftsmanship. I just can't see something like that being made today. Something about the bow of a pin tumbler key just would not have the same effect.

Rick, thank you for posting these pictures.

Wow, that's seriously impressive. Gordon is right, not something that would be made today.

Thanks for sharing!

I think that trophy could be the centerpiece of a third National Treasure movie...

Seriously...
