Great article Lars and Michael what a fantastic collection. Thanks for posting the pictures both of the cuffs and everyone there. Those kids are really growing fast since I saw them at the convention last year. Many thanks again and hope to see everyone next year at the next convention.

Dear fellow collectors,

thank you very much for your kind words!

We all had a great time, when Ulrica and Lars were on their visit here, and I would like to thank Lars very much for making the interview and especially for making pictures of my cuffs in this outstanding well-known quality.

Being mentioned on the world's most important site about handcuff collecting is a real pleasure and honor for me, my thanks go out to Joe for doing a fantastic job.

Best wishes to all of you,

Michael and family

Great job!

And let me add that I'm especially grateful that I had a chance to visit Lars, his fiancée and his collection last week.
It was one of the greatest collections I have seen so far: very rare items, extremely well organized and (where necessary) top of the line repairs.

Cheers
Nils

As most of you seem to enjoy seeing Michael's great collection, here are
two more pictures.

Best,

Lars


A few more handcuffs. It's not a Tower to the right, it's a rare imitation.
Check the key hole position and the clevis!


A few more Kayser and rare Horst Moabit cuffs. The Horst Moabit cuffs on the board all take the small squared key pattern.

Ok i see the handcuff that is not a tower??(looks like one to me ) I know its a imitation because of the key hole and rivited clevis. How rare is this handcuff and does it take a regular tower key.

These cuffs are pretty rare and the key differ from ordinary Tower cuffs.

There is one handcuff I have seen several times before but have no idea what it is called, who produced it, etc.
