Vintage Soviet Lock with Missing Key - Restoration

- In this video I'm restoring this beautifull Soviet padlock.
I found this lock for sale online and I really liked its design. It is made by "Metallist" probably in the 1960s. The lock came without a key, it was rusty and I didn't know what I was going to find inside once I open it. The case had some minor pittings due to rust, so I decided to use filler and paint it rather than sanding all the pittings down. The shackle is made of 4 plates and riveted together. I didn't like the looks of it so I decided to blend in every plate and give it a nice polish. Fortunately, the inside of the lock was in pretty good condition. The only thing that was worn a lot was the part where the key goes, so I decided to make a new one. The locking mechanism parts were in pretty good shape so I just smoothed the edges and blued them for protection. The trickiest part was making a new key. I looked online how the key was supposed to look, made some measurements and drawings and created a key accordingy. It really turned out better than expected and it works with the lock perfectly. I am happy with the end result of the padlock.
What do you think of this restoration? Feel free to leave a comment.

It says:
ЛЕНОБЛМЕТАЛЛОПРОМСОЮЗ
“МЕТАЛЛИСТ”
ГАТЧИНА
which means “‘The Leningrad Oblast Metal Industry Union, ‘Metallist’, Gatchina”.
“‘The Leningrad Oblast Metal Industry Union” was the name of the metal workshops / cooperatives organization of Leningrad Oblast with “Matallist” being one of such workshops called “artel” in those times.
Gatchina is a town in the Leningrad Oblast, Russia, near St. Petersburg, it used to be the residence of the Russian Royal Family and it's famous for the royal palace situated there.
Woow I searched the internet and couldn't find anything about this lock other than it was made by Metallist.

This plant still exists. Its current name is "Burevestnik". This plant produced padlocks from 1944 to 1960. And in the “small” city of Gatchina there live almost 100 thousand inhabitants.)
