Greetings!

For sale here is what was originally an Oreste Di Bon piece that has been modified by Chad Ruben into one of the smallest Skull mangles you'll ever find in a really neat rootbeer kirinite color! The bolster is a polished brass, skull is cosmetic (no safety) and button is original - but polished to quite a fine a mirror finish!

What is the story and why might someone choose to mangle something by the late, great Oreste? Supposedly this one was originally a swivel bolster with very bad banana blade that wouldn't stay closed out of the factory, and once Chad was done with her, she kicks like a 9 incher, locks up solid and just about straight as an arrow. Oh, and it's a picklock now, too! When Italy gives you lemons, send 'em of for modwork I guess, lol.

Jokes aside, this may be one of the more unique small modern picklocks you'll bump into - if you're into mods, it's even off the beaten path among those.

If you'd like more pictures or even a video, I'm happy to oblige, just reach out!

Thanks for looking, 

FOPT
