Andys Handcuff Collection

Here i present my collection of handcuffs, legcuffs and other restraints. This collection is for people collecting, making somthing by themselves, restoring old cuffs or who are interested on escapology.

Items shown here are not for sale, i am a collector, not a dealer!

This site has a simple design, i concentrated more on content. Photos are made over a long time with different cameras, so backgrounds, exposure, white balance etc. may not be uniform.

Colletion is divided into several groups:

Handcuffs
- Germany
- Great Britain
- rest of Europe
- USA
- Asia
- rest of world
Leg Cuffs
- worldwide
Combinations
- worldwide
Nippers
- worldwide
other restraints
- worldwide

There are some projects of do it yourself, restorations and rebuildings:

What is a doublelock? What is a latch, what is shimming or picking a lock?

Some terms are decribed here:

Glossary (german only)

A small subset of my collection. Who recognizes all handcuffs in the picture?

Schluessel

Here you can see the most keys of my collection. Keyrings can be separated for use from central holder. Experts can assign better visible keys to corresponding cuffs...
