Forged iron, about 4\" in length. The bit angled with T form tip, required inserting the key and locating the bolt within the case. The configuration indicates that the bolt was distant from the keyhole, requiring this peculiar configuration and confounding thieves. See \u003cem\u003eThe Mastermyr Find\u003c\/em\u003e, pl. 4 #2 \u0026amp; #3 for examples of this same form found in Gotland Sweden. Of those, one grip is complex iron basketwork. The other is wood, significantly degraded, its form now obscured. This example has a forged tapered grip with a spatulate terminal pieced with a hole. The great similarity suggests that this example is also from Sweden.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fagan Arms","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43441267015798,"sku":"B7413","price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/1957\/files\/B7413A.png?v=1779801126","url":"https:\/\/www.faganarms.com\/products\/rare-viking-chest-or-door-lock-key-9th-11th-century-ad-3","provider":"Fagan Arms","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
