Interesting that the new book has pilfered photos in it. I wonder about the content of the book and how many pictures were taken in the same way. Some time ago I contacted the author and attempted to buy a copy of the book. He failed to respond. I wonder why. I think the picture of the Christophe lock came from this BBS. The original is below.

Here are a few pictures of the Christophe. It is engraved and signed by Schoffeniels. Of course, the Christophe is a standard Holland style, and neither a self or assisted opener.
