Real or fake IRS pancake lock

GregWhitney

Hello,

I am interested in finding a IRS pancake lock and see one for sale currently on ebay. Does anyone know if there are reproductions of this lock out there? What might I look for to determine if this is real or fake?

eBay item number: 331763549477

It’s genuine. I’ve never seen a reproduction pancake lock. There’s a similar one here. http://www.antique-padlocks.com/panpk6b_h-i.htm
