The only things older than me are dirt and Mr. Warnock.

Curtis, I found my receipt for my first pair of handcuffs, Sep 1968. The ones we used in service were OD American with a God awful looking key.
At times I feel I'm giving dirt a run for its money!
Enjoy the day,

I carry two pair of S&W Model 1 cuffs, 1 pair hinged and 1 chain. I love the Model 1s because they have a slightly bigger bow so thet fit people with larger wrists and are easier to get on a resisting subject. The only problem with them is that because of their size it's hard to find cases that fit.

BOS Handcuffs

I have only ever carried 1 brand and that is BOS - which cost me a shift's $$$ to purchase back in 1993 (same keys as S/W) but apart from training and demonstrations have never needed to use them as we were taught to detain and hold until police arrived unless otherwise necessary. Use of handcuffs here is a big no-no unless you are the police and even special constables (have been before) are restricted to what they can and cannot do.
