Found this at an antinque place. I bought it a little interested and out of curiosity.
Curious if it’s real or a remake? The lock itself says ‘Aligarh’ twice on it and has the number 444 on the top side. The brand name is faded but it either says ‘Rauis’ or ‘Rajis’. I tried looking up basic information on it, and came across very little.
Possible from what I researched (if it is real) that it’s an old prison lock? Maybe from ‘Aligarh’ which is a location in india.
Question raised suspicion as, seems a lot of locks are being re-made based out of an India, so seeing the marking of ‘Aligarh’ made me wonder.
Just curious is all, not upset with the purchase. Just wanting to know a bit more about it.
Here's one similar a 6 levers like yours :

Welcome to CW SpilledSoup! I was wondering why you didn't say anything about the 6 LEVERS mark? Or couldn't you see it?
