Description (Physical description)
Key with oval cusped bow, cylindrical shank, collar and pin. The pin includes both a short length of throating before the join between the pin and bit, and a protruding toe after it. The single bit is cut with key wards to both the sides and bottom edge, but the latter has been infilled with lead and capped with copper alloy to form a straight edge. The letter 'C' is stamped on one side of the bow.
