I am trying to find my Bean cuffs but I think I would have to unload one or two storage sheds to do it so I am going to save time. Can anyone one direct me to a photo of the cuffs open and a good shot of the bow and it's ridges???????????

Thanks so much Ron and everyone. When I was 18 I bought a pair of these cuffs for 11 or 12 dollars from JH Trudell an old time escape artist. The old timers use to trick these even though they are easy to pick.
They would build up the last notches on the bow with weld and file them so they looked like the other notches but a bit higher.
If you locked the cuffs on the fist few notches they locked tight. But when you push the bow all the way in the last notches picked up the locking dogs/lever and left the cuff open. So just push the bows all the way in and the cuffs were open.
I am doing a little manuscript on handcuff kings and want to include this and other cuffs if I can remember them.
So again thanks to everyone Norm
