Collector's Corner Each of these restraints is out of production for several years, making them very interesting for collectors. If not described otherwise they are in used condition and were partially in official police use. Of course, each of these restraints is still fully functional. But please note, that these items are more or less old models, which are for collecting use only. We sell to adults only. All item prices are final prices.
ID: CL12R
Here we have the predecessor of the current German police handcuffs No. 11 and No. 12 (please also see "Germany"). Unlike the modern ones the 12 R use a solid key. Moreover the cuffs are connected by a three lined chain which is fastened by steel-loops instead of swivels. But they yet have the shape and the double locking mechanism of the modern Clejuso models. The cuffs are marked "Edelstahl rostfrei", which means that they are made of stainless steel.
These cuffs were made in the 1950ies or 1960ies in France. It is lightweight type with a body made of aluminium. The bows and the chain are made of steel. The restraint uses a flat key and has no double locking facility. The offered item is in good condition with only a few scratches. It's possible that it's an unused stock item, because it's in its original plastic bag with "Menottes La Pegy Deposee" writing on it. The edges are quite sharp and the springs are very strong. So this restraint does not match the standard for modern handcuffs and should be seen as a valuable collector's item and not as a restraint still meant for use. The handcuffs come with two original keys.
This pre World War II French chain-nipper has handles made of wood. The few pieces in our stock are all of excellent condition.
