Patriotic padlock, really?

[Jock Auld]

Guys,

The key fits so I thought I could use it if nothing else. Is this really of the period or a load of old bollocks. I thought it was a messed with Bundeswehr lock but on closer inspection it would have been a lot of work to do.

Hello Jock.

I believe the Iron Cross was used and also abused in many ways utilizing a popular article.

So this padlock could well be of the period 1914 - 1918 or even later.

I just thought it bizzar that they would complicate the manufacturing process at a time when they should simplify production. Mad!
