Ok, so I dont have these yet. They will be here by the beginning of next week. They have no key, so Im not sure if a Balco or a regular Tower key will work? I have a pair of Tower L.I. Copies and they use a Balco key. A regular Tower key wont fit. Does anyone have anything similar to these? I have never seen a lock quite angled like this one. I have seen ones that have the perfectly sideways lock, but this one looks to be canted a bit more. Does anyone know anything on these? Where they were made? When? and who made them? Give it a lil bit for Joe to get the pics put up. Thanks for any info you guys can help with. Im looking forward to getting these!

I can only answer as to why the L.I. key doesnt fit, as I dont have the handcuffs yet. I just arranged for the purchase today and they will be in shipping tomorrow. My Imitation Leg Irons have a chain similar to what is on the Imitation Tower Leg Irons from Stan's Collection CD-Rom. The regular leg iron key is just a hair to small for the barrel to slide over the post. So, a regular leg iron key will not fit at all. The Balco keys are just a tiny bit larger and will slide over the post and the bit will turn and unlock the cuff. I am guessing that the Tower Imitation Handcuffs may be the same way? That was a question I was hoping someone could answer before I get them in hand. Either way, I have a Balco key and a regular Tower handcuff key to try. Unless it uses something different? Looking through Google Images, I have found several of these pictured on the forum in the past, but due to photobucket's new policy, I cant see the picture when I open the forum page, many times. Very annoying! Thanks Photobucket! It looks as though The Amazing Michael has had several sets of these in the past. Several posts that I have found have suggested that they are made in Germany? Pics will help a lot! LOL!
