Unlike many other darby style restraints coming from this part of the world, these are rather high quality handcuffs. They are wider than standard darbies and use a Sheffield pattern key, which means the key is threaded on the outside. Also unlike most other darbies, they need the key to lock the cuffs.

Manurhin 1985

The French gun manufacturer Manurhin was well know for its high quality revolvers. In the 1980's they manufatured this high security model handcuff which closely resembles the Rivolier models. Hiatt offered this model on the British market as its Matra 85/88 model.

Marlin Daley

These handcuffs are also known as the bottleneck pattern because of the shape of the lockcase. They were made by the Marlin Firearms Co. which became famous with its lever-action rifles. It is still one of the leading firearms-manufacturers of the USA but ceased producing handcuffs almost a century ago. The model shown here has a swivel linkage while the earliest models have a simple three link connecting chain.

This 'company' was a one man operation from Germany. These are the most standard looking cuffs they offered. They are double locking and take a Clejuso 13/15 key.

Masolet

Except for the double lock (which is activated like on a S&W cuff), there is nothing special about these handcuffs from Turkey.

Masolet

These look like a 'cheaper' version of the previous cuffs. They take a solid key, have no grooves in the bows and have a slightly shorter linkage.

Masuri

This model has often been copied in a far inferiour quality. It is made out of nickel plated brass and double locks by means of external levers. The key is not needed to undo the double lock. The markings are 'Chief of Police' and 'Monte Carlo' but as these cuffs are Japanese, I have no idea what these markings stand for.

Mattatuck

These handcuffs have a rather complicated locking mechanism which is operated through a double slotted keyhole. They take a single-bitted key. The Mattatuck Manufacturing Co. also made Maltby and Judd handcuffs.

Mattatuck 'The Judd'

Each cuff has it's own serial number (mine has 06) on one bow.

Batcuff

This 'fantasy' cuff is fully functional.

McColl Bean Giant

This interpretation of the Bean Giant differs slightly in size to the original. It operates exactly like the original.

McColl Finger Cuff

This is the perfect addition to any set of thumbcuffs.

Moroccan/Eggplant

These French handcuffs are known as 'Moroccan', probably because they were used mostly in Morocco. Some people call them eggplant cuffs due to the shape of the cuffs.

Peerless 700

This model is identical to the standard version but is completely gold plated. Even the keys got the same treatment.

Peerless 700L 95th Anniversary Edition

In 2009 Peerless decided they needed a 95th anniversary edition for the swing throug cuff so this model 700 was offered in a limited and numbered run of 400 pieces. It has a strange finish which is something between the standard an gold finish shown earlier.

Peerless 700L 100th Anniversary Edition

The 2014 100th anniversary edition is a very bright model 700, limited to 1000 pieces. It has the old style round logo etched on it.

Peerless 702C

This one is the successor of the 7030 model. It has an improved locking mechanism but is otherwise identical.

These high-security cuffs have been modified by the BOA Handcuff Company. A polycarbonate housing in which a medeco cylinder is incorporated, is placed over the lockcases so the standard key can no longer be used.
