Houdini Giant Russian Padlock

Every cuff or cuffs or lock that Nugent bought from Hardeen had ITS OWN, SIGNED, TYPEWRITTEN LETTER on Hardeen Photo stationary. Most of the cuffs and lock that Wresch bought from Nugent were not Houdini/Hardeen items.
As I said, the 25 or 26 cuffs and locks sold by Hardeen to Nugent each has a unique, original, signed (by Hardeen).
Nobody but a sucker would buy a Houdini item for which the remonstrance is xeroxes.

The key for this lock appears to have modern vice jaw marks and would certainly have a ring thru a hole for a key head.

this padlock appears to be of eastern maufacture, India, pakistan and recent.
