I have a pair of CHUBB escort "H" model handcuffs for sale on ebay item # 191126644522. Regards

Thank you for your comment Sir.
I have made an error the standard CHUBB ESCORT cuffs have 9 not 8 sliders
I must disagree in part with your statement. The CHUBB ESCORT "H" version has 10 sliders.
If you compare a standard set with the conical retainer with the flat retainer of the "H" version you can work out that the extra space is needed for the extra sliders.
I have opened and re keyed a large amount of ESCORT's and not just read about them.
Below is the comments from the CHUBB website regarding the Escort cuffs.
Features
9 or 10 slider AVA mechanism affording a very high number of differs and keys unique to this application viz:-
The standard version has nine sliders and a shorter than standard length bit; the special H version has 10 sliders on a standard bit length, but with one thinned down wing neither blank being available on the commercial market.
NOTE: H version identified by step in conical recess of magazine cap.
False notching and common internal profile on sliders to deter manipulative attack.
Key retaining mechanism to ensure that handcuffs cannot be left unlocked with key removed
Magazine retaining cap designed to be irremovable short of destroying the body.
Deadlocking action and two-point locking on each shackle ensures that each product can withstand a minimum force of 5.0kN.
Confusing key profile to deter attempts to sight-read the combination.
