Description: Rare and mysterious key. This is a genuine, stunning and outright beautiful key, obviously hand made by a highly skilled locksmith. A wild conversation piece. Great care was taken to make this high ended key including a very unusual bow with an engraved brass numbered plate. The locksmith designed the bit cut for a specific reason. There is no doubt the Knights Templar Cross was designed on purpose, as that kind of cut was not common for keys in the 1700\'s. This also means the corresponding lock was also custom made. There are several theories about this key. It\'s possible it was for a vaulted door or very secure strong box. It could have also been used in a prison, although such detail in a key for a prison lock is quite unlikely. The key is from Europe. This looks like the kind of key you would find on Oak Island as someone pointed out.Own a piece of history now! See picture(s) for condition and notes below before offering or buying.

Other Terms
Clock and general key fitting and sizing
Keys not sold for test fittings! I do not suggest purchasing any key as a replacement unless you know thekey will fit. The problem with older keys and locks is that the mechanisms and keys often change due to wear. In addition, key measurements can vary greatly due to small differences in bit cuts, depth, shaft diameter and sizing due to metric vs. US standards. My square end keys, including clock keys are sized by metric standards. Although I accept returns, the cost of returning a key purchased on sizespeculation is generally not worth the cost. I suggest consulting a locksmith to confirm lock / key fitting.
Refunds
I will gladly refund any purchase if you are not 100% happy. Contact me first and I will be happy to assist you with any problem. Please note that all returns must be postmarked within the allowed return period Please include all items received. Item(s) must be packed in equal protection as received and be tracked/insured (to prevent loss). Refund will be issued upon complete, unused and non-damaged return of item(s) to seller. Buyer is responsible for return postage costs unless the return is due to my listing error. No refunds will begranted for item(s) purchased for temporary or rental use, including photography, events, displays, theater, props, etc.
Refunds due to lost or damaged items
I will be happy to refund items that were insured and lost or damaged in transit. However, PayPal and US Postal regulations require the receiver to file a lost or damaged claim with your post office as soon as possible and/or respond to any inquiries. I cannot issue any refund until a claim is filed and a copy of the claim is sent to us. Once we receive a refund from the USPS I will issue your refund. International shipments are not insured unless requested. Seller is only responsible for proof of delivery to your location. In the event of theft after confirmed delivery, the buyer assumes all responsibility. Please note that the US Postal Service will rarely pay claims over $500.00 due to serious financial problems they are having. Therefore, some items over $500.00 are \"no return\" sales since they cannot be covered by return insurance.
Packing
Groups or sets of keys are generally shipped together in a tightly wrapped plastic bag. It has been my experience that keys are not seriously damaged when packed as a tight group. Valuable keys or single keys are usually packed individually. Special packing is available upon request, but large groups of common keys cannot be packed individually due to time restraints and postal box size and weight limits.
response
Please remember shipping delays, shipping costs and other issues are generally beyond my control. Although I try to inspect every key, some may have defects I honestly missed. In such cases I will refund your payment and pay for return shipping. Please remember this when leaving response. I will be happy to correct any issue. Please allow up to 30 days for response as we must honor the return period in addition to normal processing time.
