Like almost all Soviet locks, this has the price stamped right into the side.

This one was four rubles, 42 kopeck.

Now I'm not great with the factory stamps on Soviet locks, but this is one that's very familiar to me.

It's for the election plant of heavy industrial valves.

It wasn't always called that, but it's an ironworks that dates back to the 17 hundreds.

And the history of this company is absolutely incredible.

Everything for making munitions to repel Napoleon's invasion of Russia to building valves for the Siberian oil pipeline.

I'll leave a link in the description below, if you want an interesting read.

Now the loch itself is a fairly competent design.

We have a hefty steel lock body, a sliding bolt shackle and a fairly tight opening to protect both the shackle and hasp.

But where the lock falls down is the core.

It has five pins, no security pens, fairly sloppy tolerances and a wide open Qiwei.

So getting this open shouldn't pose too much of a challenge.

We're going to start by trying a low skill raking attack.

Now, like many Soviet locks, this one turns counterclockwise to open.

I'm using a wiper insert for tension.

We're gonna use this wave rake, see if that's enough to get it open.

And just that fast It popped.

So a nice, solid block body.

But it seems pretty clear that the core is inadequate for the rest of the package.

In any case, that's all I have for you today.
