Hi,

I have a pair of handcuffs, which I would like to hear your opinion on. They are very light and almost non-magnetic. The only mark is "HIATT" and they use a standard handcuff key. I am not sure if they are a cheap copy of the real Hiatts handcuffs..

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards

THOR

They are probably real. You say that they are almost non-magnetic. Dose a magnet stick well enough to pick the cuffs up? My pair will get picked up.

Hi,

thanks a lot for your input. The handcuffs are almost non-magnetic i.e. it's not possible to lift them with a magnet.

I have my doubts that they are real Hiatts handcuffs - mainly because Hiatts is spelled "HIATT" on the cuffs and because there are no other markings like British made or made in England..

I might be wrong, but...

Hello Thor,

Hiatt was the marking on that product pre 1983.. I had a pair of Aluminum cuffs marked Hiatt. So in reality those are authentic. check out Vincula's Website to see examples..

My Apologies, It's not Vincula's page.. It is Michael Busch's Collection. Sorry for that.
