Cuffman's Collection

Bean Prison

These classic cuffs were patented in 1882. The bows don't lock until a push button on the case is pressed.

Bean Cobb

In 1899 an improved model of the original Bean cuff was patented by Lyman Cobb. They have the same features as the original and the lock can be removed. They have serial numbers on the hinges.

Bianchi 500

The Bianchi company is well know for its production of holsters and other police equipment. In the 1970's it offered these standard stainless steel double locking handcuffs. The cuffs are not mirrored but they do have a serial number.

Bianchi 505

Unlike the stainless steel model 500, these standard handcuffs are mirrored but they lack a serial number.

These cuffs are made in China and are obviously 'inspired' by the Hiatts 'Big guys' series.

This black version of the H&R copy is probably made by ANHUA.

Brifield C2

These aluminum handcuffs from China take a non-standard 3 bitted key. They have keyholes on both sides of the lockcases. Coloured versions of these cuffs also exist but those come in unmarked boxes. The box this set came in, is marked 'Brifield'. The actual manufacturer is unknown to me as I have found several companies marketing this type of cuffs.

Browning

These cuffs are identical to Alcyon's 5232 model but are clearly marked 'Browning' on one of the bows. I have a catalogue from the FN company over here in Belgium in which these cuffs are shown but I don't believe they were made by FN.

BR-S1

These Russian handcuffs are surprisingly well made but have a rather crude finish.

BR-S2

This Russian cuff resembles the Czech Ralkem cuffs.

This is another well made Russian cuff with a crude finish.

I was told these handcuffs were used by the Bulgarian army during the 1970's. They are single locking only and have the keyholes accessible from both sides.

These handcuffs have external double locking buttons and use keys that are slightly different from standard keys. Also note the three ring link.

Bulltec

These standard hinged handcuffs are of a decent quality. The only unusual feature is the key which is black.

The 'QuikKuf' is a rigid handcuff, simular in design to Hiatts 2103 'speedcuff' which uses a standard sized key.

Civil Defence Supply Cyclone

This is a modified 'QuikKuf'. There are external double lock sliders added to the lockcase which allows double locking without using the key. The cuffs are no longer marked with the Quik-Cuff logo but feature an email address of a company called 'gbhandcuff' on the plastic handle. I believe this company modified the original cuffs.
