Join photobucket and click upload piks, you can then use "browse" to access the piks
from your hard drive or disc and upload to photobucket.

If you have uploaded the pics at photobucket,

look at the links under each photo.

Left click the direct link and it should say "copied"

You can then "paste" the link or links into this thread as a new message
and use "preview" to see if they post before clicking "respond"

good luck ..

Hello,
i have purchased a defective dollar sign cuff a few months ago and repaired the lock. So there exist some fotos of the inside of the lock. It is a lock for the double bitted key, see first posting here:

http://www.handschellenforum.de/forum/v ... php?t=2510

There are more pictures, they will be visible later at my homepage:

Now there are only pictures of repaired dollar cuff, see "handcuffs germany", later there will be an article about lock repair with all pictures.

Hello,
now i have an article about my restoration of dollar cuffs on my website:

http://www.andys-handschellensammlung.d ... _01_en.htm

There are a lot of pictures from inside of lock and all parts. It should be clear how lock is working. My dollar sign cuff is the version with barrel key.

Best regards

Dear Sir,

I have just purchased a pair of the dollar handcuffs from an antiques dealer in Prague. They are complete and fully function with one key.

I would appreciate your advice on where to sell them. I normally sell antiques from Prague on eBay, but I think that these may be too valuable to sell there. Do you have any advice?

I also have another pair in North Carolina that I may want to sell soon. I will be back there in August.

Sell on ebay they are not that valuable mayby around 300$ but condition is everything
That is always a big factor
