Hello Lemmy! Is it time for our own locked safe story? I found this old piggy bank in a second hand store in Sweden. No key, and there is a few coins in there by the sound of it.

Anyone recognize the type of lock? How would you get it open? Is drilling my only option, or could a total beginner (except in Skyrim) pick the lock?

Thanks!

    I remember these from when I was a kid. Our local Sparkasse or Commerzbank (Germany) handed these out. Should be quite easy to pick with a bent pin in the longer slot of the lock. The upper opening does not have any function but for symmetry of the key (which was itself slotted in the middle, like the letter U inverted). Sry can’t describe it better ;-)
