inspect his nappy tomorrow 
have you tried a different key? these old locks often wear out and accept different keys or even a screwdriver, but be sure to take the registration document with you should you use the screwdriver method because if you are stopped they will take the bike off you until you supply the docs

I DONT CARE, IN OR OUT BUT IM ENJOYING THE DEBATE......................ARMSTRONG MT500. a pushbike, waves.....addict, no offence
If the locks are original there should be a three number code on the front of the seat lock where the key goes in. You can get a spare key cut to this number which should match the ignition. Or alternatively just look up the number on ebay and buy a ready made one.

Mick, I've tried all the keys in my useful box of keys, no go, don't want to use the screwdriver method either, Garry I thought of this but there is no number on either locks, are US bikes different ?.

There is nothing stamped on my ignition, seat or fuel cap barrels at least not on the outside.
My original ignition key has Z5450 stamped into it and i believe this to be period.
My spare key is cut from a blank marked KW7, its a Silca from Italy.
I have used the tapered (blank) end of a large cable tie before to start the bike!!
