Unknown modern Cuffs from the UK

Hi everyone,

I recently got these handcuffs from the UK. They look a lot like American Munitions / Handcuff Co., but the only markings are BT 15.
The seller sold them as HIATTS.

Does anyone have an idea who made them? How could they end up in the UK? The last photo is a comparison with some AHC. Note they are not mirrored.

Kind regards,
Nils

I recall seeing a similar smooth-finish cuff pictured in an "Toye-Kenning" UK dealer list.

I'll check it tonight, and post a picture tomorrow.

The thing that jumps out at me is the bt15 doesn't appear to be a ditched cuff. It does favor a munition cuff style tho. Very interesting.

So they are TKS! Thank you Joe.

I wonder if they are AHC made under license.

Anyway, they'll go into the British drawer now.

I'd like to find out more about these cuffs---Are they indeed TKS British-made?

Excatly what MODEL-NAME are they?

The finish and overall appearance has a look of the Alcyon brand Handcuffs from Spain to me.

Mmm, Did Alcyon make cuffs with such a square lock-case/body?

If not British-Made, then perhaps TKS imported & private-labeled this cuff.

Any British/TKS collectors here - who might know?
