I'm part way into remaking another leather Leg-O-Mutton gun case. The skeleton key lock is still 100% operable after 100 years; however, after removing the crud off of the lock, what was left of the original spotty brass plating also washed off the cast steel lock with the cleaning solvent and grim.
This lock secures the leather strap which holds the gun case lid down. I went on a Google search and so far I cannot locate a mfgr of this type of lock. All of the other metal fittings used are either brass or brass plated. Do any of you know a possible source for this type of brass plated lock.
