Please I confirm, I do not want to sell those handcuffs separatly.

There is no point in offering a price just for a set.

Thank you

Hi. I would like to see if anyone is interested in going in on this with me. I am very interested in the 1st chain cuff and the brass La Policiere. The other cuffs I already have and would like to find someone who is interested in the other La Policiere, chain berliner, thumbscrew, and the Lyon Presto.
If so, please contact me and I will landline you. Perhaps we can both get some goods with 1 bid. I am open to any suggestions as well.
These are indeed some very hard to find cuffs and by teaming up, both of us can benefit. Maybe 2 or more collectors can join in.
Thanks. Mark

Upon looking at the rare chain cuff in the upper left of the pic, I noticed it has a very unusal and interesting mechansim no doubt designed just like it is to better aid the officer in applying the cuffs quickly.

Note the two outer cylinders on either side of the main one. At the top of these 2 outer lock cylinders you will notice a ring.

I believe that this ring pulls up on a spring loaded plunger. The very bottom end of the plunger drives through the chain links capturing them.

Unlike a standard chain Berliner where the guard or cop has to laboriously screw the nut closed, with this design all you need to do it wrap the chain around the wrist, fit a desired link into the slot and then let go of the ring on the plunger.

The wrists are now held secure until the key is used to tighten the centre tube screw. I imagine once this middle screw is tightened down it serves as something of a "double lock" and prevents the rings on the plunger cylinder from moving or being pulled up.

VERY COOL DESIGN!!!

Just a quick question, will you be putting the items on ebay individually or as the group of 6 items? Or is the auction to be held privately?
Thanks

Hi Chris

No I do not want to put the cuffs on eBay. This sale is only for serious collectors. It is an auction for handcuffs.org. Those handcuffs are very rare and search by serious collectors. Joe gave me a clearance for that sale.

I would like to sell the cuffs together not separately. So I am waiting for offers and in a couple of weeks ( I shall be on holiday next wednesday for 2 weeks) the highest offer will receive the 6 cuffs. I have given a minimum price to protect the value

I am very sad to sale a part of my collection. It is very hard to ''give'' very rare and nice sets but I have got very good personal reasons for that.

Thank you for your request Chris and congratulation about your book. I've got it at home.

Gordon''

''Hi gordon

Thank you for your interest but this auction is closed. I have sold the 6 sets yesterday in the evening. The collector gave me a very very good price (more than 5500 euros) but with a condition. He wanted an immediate answer

I am sorry for you PETCHI''


As you can read on my answer to Gordon. I have sold this evening the 6 sets to a collector.He gave me a very good price but with a condition. He did not want to wait any longer and wanted an immediat answer.

Thank you every body for your interest. The cuffs will go to US

Congratulations to the lucky winner. You now have some great pieces.
If some of these are duplicates in your collection and wish to sell them, I know two or more buyers that are interested in obtaining any item that you wish to part with.
I am very interested in the Brass La Policiere for myself and I hope that you already have one in your collection. Of course I have a strong interest in the chain cuff but I am sure that it too was your main intention on acquiring this magnificent set.
I hope that you will consider selling off any duplicates but even if you want to keep them, you have some rare cuffs that you should be very proud of.
