<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TWG, post: 9960516, member: 88674&quot;]Thanks all for the continuing dialog and help. From a UK-based experienced writing slope restorer, all that they could offer on the lock is that it followed the Tompson Patent design, which allows a flat lock plate (unlike the Bramah where the pins protrude from the lock plate surface). They also confirmed the wood as solid flame mahogany, which I understand is rather rare. I add a few more pics from the seller, which show the slope as a whole is quite clean and complete, down to the set of brass pins for the paper holding section. Also a close-up of the ornate leather tooling/embossing. [ATTACH=full]500161[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]500162[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]500163[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]500164[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
