This is a bit of an add on to your question but might be helpfull.
In a letter from Hiatt years ago, they provided me with this information. Their records were destroyed in a fire 1932. Polish steel handcuff were availble until 1948. ground or linished finish from 1948. New die cast alloy made from 1975 to 1976. I beleieve that Hiatts added the 'S' after the business changed owners in the 1980's
