> The cuffs were I suppose heavyweight, nickel silver/chrome finish, double

> The key-holes are the really distinguishing feature - they were small
> revolving circular with half the key slot in the revolving part and the
> other half of the key[-hole being in the cuffs body. These had to be lined
> up to slot the key in to unlock.
>
> I bought them in the early 90s and these were the best cuffs I ever owned.
> Really strong and a very comfortable fit around the wrists.

> Stolen in a car break in I really want to find a pair again but can't

> If my description can help ID these cuffs in any way I would be eternally

> Hope you can help.
