Rare opportunity to add these Peerless 1st model handcuffs to your collection. This is where it all started in 1912 with the patent for a swinging bow handcuff.
The rare first model needed the key to double lock the cuffs.
To open the key is turned to about 270 degrees to release the bows.
This was quite tricky and soon after the 2nd pattern was introduced which double locked via a plunger and the key stopped turning when the bolt was pulled back.
They come with original key and leather pouch they retain about 85% original plating.
