I´m looking for a pair of Alcyon 15900, if someone sell them or know where I can buy them I would be very pleased. Than you
Hello,
this Alcyon was my third handcuff i have bought, it was in the 1980's in a shop for weapons, knifes etc. in Hamburg, Germany. At that time they where sold in many shops. Today sometimes i have seen it at ebay.
The lock is not working very smooth, it has very strong springs and at closing cuff the cogwheel preventing shiming catches toothed bow until teeth of cogwheel engage into bow. But this cuff is very safe, vou cannot shim it and it has two independend laches separated by sheet metal. If you try to pick them, you will bend your pick tool. You need a very stiff wire (perhaps piano wire will do it).
A nice handcuff and one of the best from Alcion.
Best regards
