For Sale: H&R Super Handcuffs – Early Long Chain Model (Very Scarce)
Offered here is a scarce early model H&R Super handcuff — an exceptional example of the long chain version measuring approximately 10 inches, showing about 90% of the original plating and presented in VG+ condition with working key.
Model: Early version without the milled groove, a hard-to-find production type.
Markings: Stamped with the Canadian “C Broadarrow” government property mark.
Serial Number: None present, consistent with early production.
Chain: 10" long chain configuration — while this long chain appears to have been modified after manufacture, it is fully congruent with the type of field modifications agencies often made to better suit their operational needs.
Condition: VG+, strong plating, smooth operation, and excellent presentation.
Provenance: Believed to have been purchased and used by Canadian Provost personnel. In Canada, Provost detachments commonly used American-made handcuffs, while overseas Provost Companies employed both American and British types. Small stocks of WWI-era Canadian handcuffs were reissued in 1939. Many Canadian Service Police restraints (including Air Force and Navy) were marked with C-Arrow stamps or Provost Company numbers.
A very scarce, historically significant early model, representing both the ingenuity and adaptability of military restraint use during the mid-20th century.

For Sale: Rare French Heavy Convict Leg Iron (Pre-Manurhin) – Excellent Condition
Condition: Excellent overall; includes original working key
Unique Features: Authentic French heavy-duty convict leg iron, weighing approx 3 pounds with an approx 18" chain—built to restrain with authority
Collectible Value: A very rare and early piece of European restraint history. While the Manurhin name wasn’t stamped until 1919, this set predates that era and was likely manufactured by the predecessor to what would eventually become the Manurhin company.

For Sale: Hiatt Victorian-Era Irish 8 Handcuffs – Excellent Condition (Simple Lock Reorientation Needed)
$100.00
Offered here is an excellent pair of Victorian-age Hiatt Irish 8 (Fig-8) handcuffs, featuring a smooth, attractive brown patina and stamped HIATT with numbers appearing to read 233 or 238. A classic early British restraint, well-preserved and visually clean.
Maker / Markings: Stamped Hiatt, number appears to be 233/238
Condition: Excellent, strong presentation and patina
Functionality: Mechanically sound; my key works perfectly, though no key is included
Special Note:
At some point — possibly even in vaudeville or escape-act use — the locking bolt was removed and reinstalled backward (rotated 180º)
In this reversed position, the cuffs stay closed by friction, and the altered bolt angle allows them to be pulled open after being shown “locked”
This is a simple repair: just lift the top of the locktube, rotate the locking bolt back to its correct orientation, and reinsert
Why Priced Low: Because of the reversed-lock history, these are offered at a lower price than a standard excellent-condition Irish 8
A clean, well-marked Victorian Hiatt set with a bit of performance lore baked into it — and an easy fix for anyone wanting to return them to original function.

For Sale: H&R Arms Bean Cobb Pattern Handcuffs – Good Condition
Offered here is a solid pair of H&R Arms Bean Cobb Pattern handcuffs in good condition, showing approximately 75% of the original nickel plating, no key, and smooth working action.
Maker: H&R Arms Co.
Design: Bean Cobb pattern, produced into the 1940s
Condition: Good, smooth mechanism, no key, 75% nickel remaining
Identification Tip: H&R Bean cuffs are easy to spot from earlier Bean Cobb versions — they feature a cost-saving design using two oversized chain links instead of the older, more expensive swivel connection found on true Bean Cobb models.
Notes: A practical example of the company’s later production methods, reflecting the transition from traditional craftsmanship to more economical manufacturing.
A classic mid-century variation on one of America’s most recognizable restraint designs.
