Description: | Complex piped bit., Large 17th century key.
The bow is elliptical in shape and formed from the same sheet of metal as the rest of the key. The ferrule therefore is the point at which the end of the bow has been wound round and welded back to the shank. The shank is long and broadens. Along the side it can be seen where it was rolled and joined. A section of the shank is gouged out at this point. There is no discernable collar. The pin is pipe ended. The bit, also made from the same sheet of metal has extra pipes welded to it to fit the lock. These number three, two on one side, and one on the reverse. The end of the bit is C shaped. There is some damage to this section through flattening.,
