It really amazes me that a pair of Smith & Wesson model 94 cuffs are up to $80 now. A pair of model 90's just closed at $70. Yet a pair of original 1st edition model 100's are only up for $35 & no one has bid on them yet. I wish I would have kept my old model 94's, I would have made a fortune by now. I still have two pair of model 90's but I won't gid rid of them just yet. Maybe in five years I'll get $100+ for them. And how come people won't pay big dollars for an old pair of Model 300 Peerless? I would say that falls into vintage status. I wonder what the Winchesters will go for now that they're out of business. Maybe I'm missing something.

The 1st edition model 100's in question have the number 122 scratched in them, if it wasn't for that I'd be the first to bid, I'm sure thats why no one else is biting either. Model 94's in the box have been selling quite high for awhile, model 90's are all over the place; I have bought new in box for as low as $30, but have seen them sell as high as $70.00 and even more. But there is always a reason for the price, condition is a big factor. And so is age, when you have models like the model 90 that sold over many decades a newer pair with a high SN# would not sell as high as an older (smaller) pair with a lower SN#. The smaller model 90's sell for more.
And Winchesters will still be Winchesters for quite awhile, especially since so many were made and Winchester doesnt even make them, Tactical Steal dose (who is still in business)
Now a recently made cuff to go nuts for is the Henry Repeating Arms Cuffs, but they are imposable to find anywhere.
