[TheForge] Viking Padlock

Bill
   I just got back from an SCA event where we discussed Viking Locks!
...small world...I have several (3-4) books from various digs which describe
the the locks and show pictures of how they worked.  I will try to scan in
the drawings and photos tonight.  If you want copies, I can post the pages
online at my website or I can email them to you.
