Curious to find out if the Sirchie handcuffs were actually manufactured by their own company,as opposed to being a 'private label' handcuff from one of the 3 U.S. companies. The Sirchie box does indeed say "Manufactured by Sirchie Finger Print Labs, Inc."
Interestingly, the Sirchie box reads "Hainesport, N.J.", whereas the marking on the cuffs read "Moorestown, N.J." Am also wondering if there is a connection between Sirchie and the other New Jersey handcuff Company, "Guardian Handcuff Co" in Merchantville, N.J. Both of these handcuffs are somewhat similar in weight and appearance. Any information would be appreciated, including approx. dates of manufacturing.
