Bianchi model 505

Hi all, I have recently aquired a pair of Bianchi model 505 handcuffs and I am a little curious about them. The Bianchis that I have seen in the past have been "right hand only" models.....the pair I recently bought are a "right and left hand" model......does anyone know how rare these are? When exactly they were made? Value? Value compared to the right hand only model? Here are some photos:




Thanks in advance for any/all info!

Cheers, Mike

Mr. Amazing,
I did not realize there was a model 505.
Mine are model 500 and are marked "Stainless Steel"
They're left and right handed.

Hope this tidbit of info was helpful.

p.s. I will be in Detroit right after the convention. Any chance you have business there also? It would be nice to hook up. I know that I won't be able to leave Huntington Woods/ Farmington area. so I hope you might have reason to come up to the area.

Greetings Mike!

That’s a spittin’ image of a S&W M-90 if ever I seen one. I know that Bianchi Leather Goods also had thumbcuffs made for them, but I’m not sure by whom. They sold them through Galls back in the late 80’s as I recall.

Regards,
Jason

Jason and Mark, thanks for the info.

Mark, I don't know what my schedule will be like that week, but we can keep in contact and try to work something out. Also, my cuffs are not stainless steel but rather, plated steel....hmmmmm another little mystery added. =)

I have both the 500 and 505 model. The 500 is stainless steel and the 505 is nickle plated.

PS The modelnumber on the thumbcuff is 510.
