Hello Andy,
> I wonder what the exact inner diameter of standard Hiatt-Darbies and Lady darbies (non adjustable) is.
> My pair of superintendent darbies measures 2,2" x 2,6 " and I have read that they are smaller than the standard darbies.
Ido not know how to call them by first name, but

measures 65mm parallel to the bow and

one bow is 61mm and the other one 60mm :-)) (sorry for page still being under construction)
I think the difference in size is linked to the difference in swivel design.
Regarding the Lady Darbies - non-adjustable - I also dearly want to know.
If you ever visited Scotland in general and Inveraray Jail in particular
you may have seen two very small specimen there, and rather old ones, I think.
