Some more keys

Warren63

Hi all a few more keys to my collection. I would be interested in anything anybody could tell me about the one I have pictured alone! The one with the brass infil has 8 on one side and what looks to be God on the other. Its probably some initials but if anyone can successfully decipher through all she knocks and dings feel free!

They appear mostly to be castiron safe/strongbox keys.
The second one down from top is for a Barron-type lock.

I would say that the ‘engraving’ is not contemporary with the key.

It looks like it was done much later by an amateur hand.

The middle key of the left group appears to be a seriously weak key even for a wedge bit. And has anyone looked closely at the sash wards of the one below it? I don’t think I’ve seen more than one hooked sash ward (apart from box of wards), and this one is not symetrical; is it a pipe key?

Yes they’re all pipe keys.
