I read about that a few years ago . There were 2 made ,it was not known which 1 was taken w/them until a journal entry was found regarding a modified spring . It broke and was either recut or was a remodeled spring from another lock.

At the rate we're going an AR and a Glock will be museum treasures soon enough.
