  • Original Item. Only One Available. The term handcuff usually conjures up images of two loops linked by a chain that must be unlocked with a particular key. In actuality, handcuffs come in a number of shapes, materials, and purposes. From zipties to “nippers,” police use all sorts of restraints to incapacitate suspects and give police an upper hand in the transportation of said suspects.


    This is a good example of the “Iron Claw” mechanical come-along handcuff, used by police officers during the post-WWII period. It is marked on one side:


    ARGUS MFG. CO. 
    CHICAGO, ILL. U.S.A.
    PAT. 1950757
    PAT. 2066884


    The other side is marked:


    THE IRON CLAW
    83261


    There is some oxidation as shown, but it still functions well. The handcuff comes in its original belt pouch with a functional securing snap.


    A great set, ready for display.
