My uncle gave me his handcuffs when he retired from the NYPD (the 4-4 in The Bronx) in the early 1960s. They have the number 62488 on them, and are inscribed "MADE IN U.S.A. – MARCAS REGISTRADAS – SMITH & WESSON - SPRINGFIELD, MASS." Can you tell me approximately when they were made? Thanks.
EDIT: I THOUGHT these were the cuffs my uncle gave me. WRONG. He gave me a pair of Federal Laboratories cuffs. Sorry for my absent minded goof, and thanks very much for the information.

Congrats on receiving those cuffs and welcome to our forum.
Wondering if you could contact S&W for a guess at the manufacture date?
