Hi, I am looking for a original Peerless Key what belongs to the earlier Model 3 handcuffs!! I have got 2 pair Model 3: Dated 30 Sept. 1949 and black model dated 14 Oct. 1942.

These cuffs are much better manufactured than now these days. Also heavier! The nickel finish 10.7 Oz, the black one 10.2 Oz.

These would take any universal key,even those made today,the older model took a key that had the point on the key shank and the cuffs a hole and was not barreled!

I have an old handcuff key ! Enough with the snide commnents please. This specfific key I was led to believe was an Original PEERLESS OEM Key that I received with a pair of (damaged) Peeless #3 Cuffs. These cuffs were an "earlier version with Peerless Tri-Legged Logo, 0.106" thick, body side plates, large 1/2" dia. chin swivel, and a heavy 0.155"dia.wire, 2 link connecting chain.
SORRY, NO PICTURES, I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO CONVINCE MY COMPUTER TO PLAY NICE WITH "Photo-Bucket"...
BUT, back to the KEY, it is a "U.S. type, standard barrel design", 1-3/4" long overall, nickel plated, 5/8 x 1/2" oval head, with conventional double lock spike on top face of oval. There is no Name or lettering, But, the "head" has an interior horizontal figure "8" cut-out that looks identical to that of the original "Post Style" keys for the #1 & 2 Peerless Cuffs.
Thoughts and/or Informed Opinion ??

P.S. anyone need 1/2 pair of Peerless #3 'Cuffs, in good, 1/2 usable, condition ???

I don't have a spare key but it is different. Any will work yes, but the top of the key is shaped differently. Instead of a round hole, it's more oval with a point.

Yeah, generally speaking, keys 2&3 went with the model 3 with logo on the lockcase. Keys 4&5 generally went with pre-300 / model 300. Of course, not always 100% true.
