GEGE AP3000

Well, my GEGE AP3000 arrived today, and boy was I happy!
I bought it from member Squelchtone from LockPicking101
It was a very reasonable price, $49US for the lock and shipping to Australia, and he even threw in another lock for me, an ABUS No. 72/40 padlock (one with an extra-long shackle and a SFIC).

I still haven't picked the GEGE yet, but I'm hoping to accomplish this soon, and once I've done that, I'll have a shot at the ABUS padlock. Just to give you an idea of the complexity of the GEGE Ap3000, here's a picture of the internal workings of the lock:

It has 5 pins, 4 of which are serrated, some of those serrated pins have floating pins within them, and the other pin appears to be a normal pin. But I'm betting it isn't. Then there's a ball-bearing which slides along a groove in the key for no apparent reason, and there's also a little cog-wheel in there that slots into holes in the key. Oh, and it has a paracentric keyway. So yeah, shouldn't be too hard to pick [/sarcasm].

Pics time!:
First, the GEGE AP3000:


And the ABUS No. 72/40:
