Can anyone identify these cuffs? Or are they movie props?

Hi Nils, The late Stanley Smyth in his book of his collection showed his drawing representation of the Tower looking cuff in the Papillon movie.It is the only reference I know of the cuff in the movie and I think Stanley referrred to it as a prop.

I haven't got my copy of the book handy, maybe another collector could scan the image and post it for you.

Haha, nice one about the SA leg irons. Seriously if anyone got these by accident, kindly let me know.

The clevises look rather large, and the shackles appear almost black. Strange for Towers, but the dimensions make sense.

Lots of great posters on this page!

One of my favorites is of "Machine Gun Kelly" sporting an Argus/Jay-Pee style claw:
