macs_07 I have no idea of the origin of these padlocks - I have at this stage presumed them to be Australian. These are he only three I have seen and have been unable to find any information bout them or anyone who knows anything about them. I have two of the 3 inch padlocks and one of the 2 inch. They are laminated and riveted construction with a warded locking mechanism Posted for information.

I note the DD marque, perhaps an early product of D&D Technologies which is located in Australia? http://www.ddtech.com.au Maybe try another time: Sorry, the store is temporarily closed for maintenance, they do have an office in the USA: http://www.ddtechusa.com Pete Schifferli [unknown]
macs_07 The crows foot marking is indication is was used by the Government and approved for use. The DD I think I either for Department of Defence or Defence Department. Also bearing in mind the date of 1944 & 1945 and the war. Again just my thoughts.
