A friend sent me a question asking when Smith & Wesson made their first handcuff and got into the business. I figure this is the best place to find that answer.

As far as I know, circa 1912 for The Peerless Handcuff Company. Peerless had recently acquired the Carney swing-thru patent.

One could say that they "got into the business" when Peerless contracted them to manufacture the Carney design. The design, however, was purchased and owned by Peerless.

Smith & Wesson created their exclusive line of cuffs in the 1950's, as the war effort kept them busy producing firearms previously.
