Here's another one for you then. ;) More modern clasp, so I'd say made for the tourist market. I suspect Turkish. No marks and I've not got round...
it actually says 3 or 5 in the middle, can't quite decide, and Lever below - that's the lock type. Give me time and I'll remember who the lock...

My lapsed catholic upbringing agrees with Ruth. ;)
Smelling salts, I suspect. Try googling on Catarrhozone, some interesting things.
