Among the largest of the American padlocks, the 747 came in two varieties. This lock is only available with a protected shackle. From the front, aside from logos which changed over the years, the 747 looks the same.

[[File:American 747.jpg]]

The difference between the two varieties is in how the lock is taken apart. One version has a sliding piece of metal on the bottom, the other has a screw-retained core retainer and small metal shield.
