We discussed them at GG a few months back:

Post by: Tool Pants on November 27, 2011, 12:58:46 PM: I have one. It is a Bonney but has no name stamped. Interesting design. Dual sliding captive pawls that are keyed. The beam and handle is rough, like it did not go through finishing steps.

The one stamped Vlchek is interesting. I would like to see it apart to see if it is identical inside to the Bonney.
