#1I just got this one in for my collection. The seller had no knowledge of what it is, but believed it was from WWII. I did some reseach and have found the chain size and configuration as well as the overall shape to be, possibly, a Japanese handcuff. I believe this is a Yamaguchi handcuff. There is what appears to be a few numbers from a serial number above each of the swivels. I am not familar with the Yamaguchi cuff having serial numbers? The surface of this cuff is very worn. The markings from the company may have been worn completely off. I am stumped. Anyone have any ideas on what this one is? The key is not the original. It will open the cuffs but is smaller than the key hole and smaller than the hole for the peg at the end of the key. The swing arm is thick and the cuff is overall nicely made and has some weight to it.
