It looks like the lock is made by the Sheng Jhou Co. of Taiwan and probably stamped with English/European markings by an OEM.
They seem to sell it in a few different formats as a "flexible key" lock. http://www.ttnet.net/search/products?list=products&flag=1&csrf_token=ypW66dhUaQh%2FL5v45ceMNA%3D%3D&find=flexible+key http://www.ttnet.net/search/products?list=products&flag=1&cs...
EDIT: Looking up the inventor yields a few patents that seem to cover the design as well as some other pretty nifty mechanical stuff https://www.google.com/search?tbo=p&tbm=pts&hl=en&q=ininventor:%22Yun-Tung+Hsu%22 https://www.google.com/search?tbo=p&tbm=pts&hl=en&q=ininvent...
- danbruc 12y agoThe key says "FÜR HERVORRAGENDE LEISTUNGEN" on the left, German meaning "for outstanding performance", a phrase commonly used to honor something that is very good but still did not win the award. On the right is "SALON DES INVENTIONS DE GENEVE", French for "International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva" [1]. So it did probably well in the "1991 GOLDEN AWARD" but did not win. On the metal it just says "SOFT KEY", "PATENT" and the company logo, the back side of the plastic part contains the company logo and "PATENT" again and another round logo with 12 stars and something in the middle I am unable to identify.
