That's a very good description. It sounds like Alcyon 15900.

It has to be these Fury/Alcyon cuffs.  It certainly fits your description.
In all honesty, it is a cheap cuff that should not be considered a great loss.
If you must replace it, I am sure one will appear on eBay if there is not at least one there already.

At least you can type in Fury or Alcyon in your search,  Fortunately for you, they are cheap and plentiful and if these are it, I'll wager that you will find one within days.
BTW, these are of Spanish origin.
Good luck!

Peter, you beat me to it within seconds.   I thought that I could do him a favor while you are out having a lobster lunch or a mussel feast somewhere.

Hi folks,
Great! Thanks a million to all that have posted. The fury cuffs with the red keys are the ones.
Now off to Ebay .
Cheers.

Let us know if you found those Fury cuffs and if you don't mind , what you paid for them.
Someone let me know if asking about price is frowned upon here. I don't want to rub anyone the wrong way.

This pair sold on eBay for $60 on July 6th.
I am certain that the seller was delighted that he got that much for them.  The key is missing the red rubber sleeve too.
BTW; these are called the "universal" model due to the swivel that is similar in design to the universal in a drive train in the automobile.

I looked on eBay for Alcyon and Fury, but there is nothing listed right now.
I would give it a week or two and you should see one-- for less than $60 too,.
Yes, prices paid and/or valued at are permissible on this site.

Some came with keys that didn't have the rubber sleeve. I remember buying one of these cuffs in a store over here in Antwerp many years ago and it came with two 'naked' keys.
