Cumming Handcuff

The Cumming handcuff is one of my favorites. I have two of them and there are some slight differences. The knurling near the release button is different as is the keyway. I suspect the finer crisscross pattern was first and the straight line was used later and was more economical. Does anyone have something different?

Thanks

Mine looks like you second one with the straight grooves.

Interesting

Do they weigh differently?
One looks larger than the other or is it just closer to the lens?

The weights are close. The patent dates are the same. The one with the criscross knurling is the heavier of the two. The bows are the same size as well.
