At the top of the forum page I have posted
pictures of two unusual
handcuffs which I think
were made in Germany, although the one at the
top
was sold to me by a dealer who said it was a Russian
handcuff. The
second one has National Socialist party
markings on it, thus dating the cuff
from 1930s or WWII period.
The key hole is located on the bottom of the lock case.
The key
screws in and then pulls down to open the cuff.
It is of course possible that the handcuff without markings,
the one
sold to me as Russian was either made in East Germany
after the war or in
Russian using machinery moved from Germany
to Russia after the war.
Does anyone know who made these handcuffs?
Any ideas would be
welcome.
