This lock is a replica of one in the National Museum in Dublin, Ireland.
It dates from the 10th Century and was found in a Viking burial dig.
As with the originals, the spring part of the lock was brazed on in the fire and then tempered after the brazing. This ensures a good working life to the spring of the lock. All parts have been hand forged and where necessary forge-welded in the fire as the original would have been.
