There are many handcuffs being sold these days
with exotic markings such as Alcatraz stamped on
them. Other variations are Well Fargo or Yuma.
Unfortuntely all of these cuffs are recent reproductions
or fakes produced primarily in south asia. They
are not worth very much money, antique dealers
can by them for as little as $10.
I don't know of single pair of handcuffs marked
Alcatraz that I would consider to be genuine. But
numerous fakes have been offered on Ebay over the
last few years.
