Hedeby Chest lock, based on the Winchester lock.

Описание: The chest was found in the harbour of Hedeby in Germany, dropped in clear water, judging from the position of where it was found it was probably dropped over the side from a ship, loaded down with a stone (granite weighing 16.4kg), the lock plate missing, indicating that it had been stolen, broken into, emptied and disposed of into the water of the harbour. Since the lock is missing and a hole remains, there are two hasps on the lid (at different levels on the lid), we can determine that the lock was a double hasp slide lock. The video is how the lock works. The lock I chose to use as a reference is the Winchester Catherdral, Green Cemetary (9thC)(Goodall in Biddle 1990) 1003-5, 1016-17, Figs. 317-18, 3686). Thanks to Morgan for Filming and Editing. Thanks to Driffa, John Russell and Gaz B for lock fittings. Yes I will putting a 'how to' in Viking Volume 2.
