Did you see the price that the cuff below went for? £675.00! There were two high bidders. I guess they both wanted it. Or maybe they wanted the whistle.



I just spend £560 on the Griffin & Hiatt plug 8 also on eBay so you could also call me crazy. But somehow I think I got a better deal.

I agree!
I would've paid as much as you for the Hiatt Griffin. I paid $ 103.00 about a year ago on ebay for my Hiatt home office cuff. It was not sold as Dartmoor prison, and I think Joe and I were the only 2 who recognized what it was.

I know it was expensive, but I had to buy the Griffin & Hiatt plug 8. I needed it to complete the story I tried to tell in my British Handcuffs book.

Griffin was the first handcuff company in Birmingham starting in the late 18th century. Then the company split into two separate companies. Griffin & Nichols became Nichols, while Griffin & Hiatt became Hiatt. I now have at least one cuff from each of the five companies.
