: I am aware of the fact that the Cup Lock shackle
: is quite an old design. Nevertheless I wonder
: where one may buy such today or whether this type
: is still manufactured in some corner of the world.
:
: Once closed a cup can be pushed over two flaps
: on the shackle. Cup and flaps have aligning holes,
: if you pass a chain through these you cannot remove
: the cup thus keeping the shackle closed.
