I have my Grandfather Frank Derrico's Navy lock. It is made by SARGENT and is stamped U.S.N., still works perfectly. I keep it my flag room with pictures and momentos of the family's vets. He was a WW1 vet also, and survived the sinking of the U.S.S President Lincoln in the Atlantic by German U-Boat U-90 on 31 May 1918.....Frank
