Question about Hiatts 2010

I noticed that my Hiatts 2010 handcuffs are almost a dead copy of a cuff called 'Blueline'. I notice the first run of 2010's have the same swivel, shape, etc. Did Hiatts copy Blueline or vice-versa. Just curious.

Blueline copied Hiatts but made it's cuff with a larger main frame and wider wrist circumferance.

Thanks for the info Steve! I've seen some Smith & Wesson model 100 and Peerless copies too. I'll stick with the originals.
