Help wanted identifieing some Hiatts

Hey All,

Im new to handcuff collecting as this is my first pair! I rolled the dice on E-bay and got these for $36.00 with shipping... Im pretty certain they arent reproductions.

Id like to put an age to them.

They are marked 'HIATT' on both cuffs, and 'BRITISH MADE' on one.

The cuffs are particularly small.

They look VERY similar to numerous Hiatt Darby type handcuffs, except the center link in the chain is different.

Any thoughts?

Hi Casey, welcome to the fun and expensive hobby of handcuff collecting. check out this recent thread on the stamping

As the clevis has been cast as an integral part of the bow and not riveted thru the bow, I personally believe these to be made around 1950's. The model you have is 104

At $36, I think you got a steal. Keys should be easily available if you don't have one.
