NY Sing Sing cuff

The cuff in the picture at the start of this forum is back on ebay. Item is
7772583477
I won't be bidding.

What is this supposed to be?
Is this the newest line from our friends in Pakistan?

You might be right about Pakistan, Mark. As long and as much as I have been on eBay, I don't recall ever seeing any cuffs like these (though I might have missed them). What strikes me odd is how nice they look. No apparent rust or oxidation of any type. They just look too good overall.

HI !! ALL : i seriously doubt that the cuff is OLD.... yes, it may well be an ORIGINAL as the seller may claim, but i think that someone took a newer REPRODCUTION & simply took the BOW ARM off & made a new one ( ie: their original creation ) slapped it together & heat treated it etc.... of course the OLD part took on a darker shade then the newer bow... whoops, forgot to mention that of course they STAMPED the NEW bow before putting the cuff back together.... just my thoughts..... joe

For those who didn't catch it, this piece de resistance is now listed as an "old west handcuff" and is no longer marked Sing Sing. Seems like they could have at least marked it "Tombstone Jail" or something.

See item #260000883225.

What a trophy. Maybe there's a factory in Botswana now making a knockoff of the knockoff of the knockoff.

Actually the cuff is not listed as a replica. So I wish the dealer good luck.
I hope he sells a lot of them cheap so the buyers leave the good things to us.
