Collector's Corner
Each of these restraints is out of production for several years, making them very interesting for collectors. If not described otherwise they are in used condition and were partially in official police use. Of course, each of these restraints is still fully functional. But please note, that these items are more or less old models, which are for collecting use only.

Model: 12 R Manufacturer: Clejuso (Germany) Condition: used Keys: 1 (original) Weight: 300 g Price: EUR 36.90 |
Here we have the predecessor of the current German police handcuffs No. 11 and No. 12 (please also see "Germany"). Unlike the modern ones the 12 R use a solid key. Moreover the cuffs are connected by a three lined chain which is fastened by steel-loops instead of swivels. But they yet have the shape and the double locking mechanism of the modern Clejuso models. The cuffs are marked "Edelstahl rostfrei", which means that they are made of stainless steel.

Model: Hiatts - 1960 Condition: used Keys: 1 (not original) Weight: 350 g Price: |
Hiatt 1960 was the successor of the famous Hiatt Darby handcuffs, which were built for about 200 years. Like nearly all newer handcuffs, the bows of model 1960 can be swung through. Nevertheless this model is of very exceptional shape and is operated by a special round key without key bit. This key is also used for double locking the restraint (when turned counter opening direction). The handcuffs are fully working, the condition is ok, but they come with an non-original key (key and cuffs may differ from the picture).
We only have a few items left in stock. There are scratches (e.g. numbers scratched into the plating) or abrations on the surface. Therefore we offer them at a lower price.

Model: La Pegy - France Condition: used Keys: 2 (original) Weight: 210 g Price: EUR 49.90 |
These cuffs were made in the 1950ies or 1960ies in France. It is lightweight type with a body made of aluminium. The bows and the chain are made of steel. The restraint uses a flat key and has no double locking facility. The offered item is in good condition with only a few scratches. It's possible that it's an unused stock item, because it's in its original plastic bag with "Menottes La Pegy Deposee" writing on it. The edges are quite sharp and the springs are very strong. So this restraint does not match the standard for modern handcuffs and should be seen as a valuable collector's item and not as a restraint still meant for use. The handcuffs come with two original keys.

Model: Rivolier Type 1955 Condition: used Keys: 2 (1 each - original) Weight: 250 g Price: EUR 64.90 |
As suggested by the name, these French high security handcuffs of "Type 1955" were produced by the famous French weapon manufacturer Rivolier in the 1950s. At the very beginning of the 1970s they were dispatched by their successor "Type 72". Like many French handcuffs they are made of aluminum except of the steel bows and chain links. What makes this restraint very special is the second lock, which is a high security tumbler lock. This lock is used for double locking the cuffs and needs an additional key. The handcuffs are marked "Securite Nationale Type 1955". They are in very good condition, fully functional and come with one original key for each type of lock.
ID: RIT72

Model: Rivolier Type 72 Condition: used Keys: 2 (1 each - original) Weight: 270 g Price: EUR 76.90 |
These French handcuffs of "Type 72" are very similar to the "Type 1955" shown above. They mainly differ in their marks (here: "Police Nationale - Type 72"). At the very beginning of the 1970s "Type 72" were the successor of "Type 1955" handcuffs but are much rarer than their predecessor. Like many French handcuffs they are made of aluminum except of the steel bows and chain links. What makes this restraint very special is the second lock, which is a high security tumbler lock. This lock is used for double locking the cuffs and needs an additional key. The handcuffs are in very good condition, fully functional and come with one original key for each type of lock.

Model: Come along / chain nipper Condition: used Weight: 150-170 g Price: EUR 13.90 / EUR 15.90 / EUR 17.90 |
We also have several vintage West German come alongs in stock. They are from between 1940 and 1980 and can be roughly subdivided into three categories, which are all shown on the picture. The nipper on the left is most likely a Clejuso No. 1, but we have several pieces, which are more or less different in shape of the handles or chain links. So it's also possible that there are similar models of other manufacturers in this category. The nippers of the second category (in the middle of the picture) are all marked with "K" on one or both handles. Many collectors think that they were made by Kayser, the famous manufacturer of the "Hamburg 8" handcuffs. The maker of the last model (right side of the picture) is unfortunately unknown. The main differences from this restraint to all our other nippers is the unusual shape of the larger handle and the thicker chain links. This is our rarest model, of which we only have a view pieces in stock.
Unfortunately the unknown and the Kayser chain nippers are already sold out.
