My Stepfather's superior in the force gave these to him years ago, and in turn I have them now.
These are a pair of Peerless Model 1's. The first swing-through cuff ever used. As you can see, these are collector grade, with two keys.
They would be almost 100 years old now, and finding these in this condition would cost you money.
Since you are law, and I didn't pay anything for them, I will offer them to you, free of charge, if you want them.

If he is not a collector, why would he want them?

The first, as has been observed, is that they are a part of your own nation's history and heritage, and should be displayed in an RCMP museum.
Secondly, the importation and possession of handcuffs is illegal in Australia (and many other countries, including Canada), so shipping would be problematic.
However, it does bring back memories...although my pair were polished stainless steel. Otherwise they were exactly the same. Even the keys.
Normally you'd carry them in the closed position. If they needed to be applied, the principle was that by striking the offenders wrist with the rotating part, it would rotate through the ratchet, pivot right around and re-engage with the offenders wrist contained in the loop.
In practice, they never worked correctly and you had to manually rotate them. And they hurt like a bitch if too tight.

Did you keep any souvenirs from your career Bricktop?

those handcuffs were easy to get outta, all you had to do was chew down a plastic straw and cram it in between the teeth and cuff , plastic stir sticks also and cops love their coffeeQuote from: "realgrimm"
Girls could slip their hands out easily, too.
But handcuffed prisoners were never left alone, anyway...so it was never an issue.

No! In Canada, you can import 'cuffs from anywhere around the world. There is no restriction. I even own a couple of Yuil's from South Korea. Aluminum.
You can own them, and carry them, but nobody would unless you're law. They aren't restricted in any way whatsoever.
That being said, if Australia doesn't permit imports, then it would be a gamble to attempt shipment.

I actually thought of that. I pulled up a pic of Model 1's from an actual RCMP Museum, and they were a rusted, tattered pair.
I may just look into doing this.
