'New' Greyhound Locks

The D4E site states the Bicones are stamped Glad 925. Does anyone own the "new" Glad bicones? and do they look identical to the old?

The problem with the bicones is that ALL are stamped GLAD925.
On another forum we tried to find the difference : some of the new ones are smaller - but not all. Does that mean the bigger new ones are old stock ?
We could never figure it out

Thanks Snowy, I didn't know that!

I just ordered one (5 minutes ago, so can't share yet), on the site it said:

This is a remake of the original design and made by the designer himself, Lars Glad.

It is the original mould that is used for these beads and is therefore the same as the original Bicone.

These are stamped Glad 925

On another Forum it says that some of the old bicones are not stamped and one person has one with SN on. Its all so confusing! I don't have any so I can't help other than say what I have read elsewhere.

My new greyhound has arrived and he is stamped if that helps. My eyes are so terrible at the moment I can't make out what it says though!!

Hello, this is my first post on this forum, I actually found it while googling informations on the greyhound lock, as I really really want one, and have no idea where to find it.

would be trully grateful if someone pointed me into the right direction.

ps: I don´t mind if it is a re-make or the retired one, as long as its made by the original artist. max anderson, if I am understanding right the information in here.


p.ps: Merry Christmas!!!

I ordered mine directly from Lars and mine say Glad 925 ... I had an original one that I found in a shop and sold ... but I can't remember what it was stamped with and I just looked up the photos of it and unfortunately I didn't take a pic of the stamp from what I remember they look identical

This is how my lock came:


This is after I had the jeweller modify it so I can change my beads.

these are beautiful, but I have to ask! is there a reason they're called 'greyhound locks'? they look nothing like greyhounds to me, I keep turning my head and trying to see!

Coming to this thread, that was the first place I posted in the whole forum, just to say that I ordered 2 greyhound locks from D4E!!! I can´t wait for them to arrive! It is like christmas all over again! they are the most beautiful locks for troll EVER , that is IMHO of course!

Good for you, enjoy!

I am just to get mine made on a bracelet permanantly it is a rerelease one and it say MAX A. and under 925s just on the lock side with the moving clip.

I read this topic again
I have a old black bicone that is not stamped and one white one wich is not ether. I have a rerelease white one wich is clear stamped GLAD 925.

Also is there any failure problems with this greyhound lock?
And shall I leave the stopper on the bracelet?
