Hello everybody!!!

Am I a good studend or not dear collectors?
My friend sent me 3 other photos yesterday in the morning.
Have a look on them please and would you please tell me if there are fake.....
For me these 3 models are pretty good copies. Do you agree with me?

i believe that the top 2 cuffs are modern repros... the bottom flexible cuff is what we use to call the INDIAN DARBY FLEXIBLE & i believe legit as is more then likely pre 1980 & on back..... joe

Hi Petchi,

All 3 cuffs are inferior quality handcuffs. They are what they are. If the seller tried to pass them off as early 1900 handcuffs then they're fake but as cheap Indian / Asian knock offs then they're genuine.

They 3rd pair does seem to be of better quality but I think the key helps in this respect. I'd question if that key was supplied with the cuffs when new. The swivel on all three cuffs look very similar which may indicate the same region of manufacture if not the same manufacturer.

The 3rd pair appears to have some letters on the 1st link nearest the hinge on the right hand side or is it just where some plating has scratched off ?
