When my father passed away I inherited a pair of very lightweight S&W handcuffs. They seem to be aluminum. They bear a serial number (596613).

Can anyone tell me the history of these cuffs? Their value? Are they safe for duty use?

Thanks!

I am by no means an expert as I've only been collecting a short time, but they are probably from the 70's, and I believe they are model 925 or 926. Worth whatever someone is will to pay for them Realistically, about $50-$60. They MAY be safe for duty use, however they were never tested or NIJ approved.

If you want to get rid of them, email me offline (click on my name) and we'll chat.

Graham

Hi Dominic,

nowadays a S&W M-925 or 926 usually rather sells for between US$ 150 and 200 at eBay, if the cuffs are in good condition and fully functional.

I was away at the beach for that auction. Price was reasonable, and not inflated by shill bidders like alot of auctions.

Too bad the Seller didn't Mention Handcuffs In the Item TITLE. That would have attracted More Buyers & had more searchability as Ebay puts it!!

Hi Joe (Tanner),

the five S&W M-925 Cuffsland sold at eBay.com last year all sold for about US$ 200.00 (+/-30). But maybe that was because we are from Old Europe .

Best regards,
Guenter

PS: of course, did we have "Handcuffs" in the title
