My grandfather recently passed away and we received 2 sets of handcuffs that belonged to him. One set were a pair of his from when he was a Sheriff. He has another pair we are trying to get more info on (like mainly what era or year they were from). They are marked TWC Japan. Anyone have any idea where I can find more info on these? They are in relatively good shape (still mostly silver with just a few rust spots. Thanks so much!

Michelle,

I'm sad to say but the Japanse TWC handcuffs are not very rare and probably made in 1950's or 60's.
They would sell for possibly $50 - $100 in good condition. These handcuffs are a knockoffs from the
German made GECO and JGA handcuffs with a much better quality.

Thanks so much! Believe it or not this is the news we wanted to hear. We don't plan on selling the handcuffs but there was controversy in the family over these handcuffs and where they came from. Certain family members thought these were an older set of handcuffs while we believed they were in fact a newer set (which it now sounds like they are). Your response validates our opinion and also helps us to solve a family mystery. It is also nice to know the information on them. Thank you again, you really did help us out! It is much appreciated.
