Any significance to the handcuff Model 100 and the serial number.

Does the serial number of the S&W handcuff Model 100 have any extra value if the number is low or it doesn't matter? “062382” Also if the handcuffs were made when Banger Punta owned S&W matter in terms of value? Here is what is typed on part of the handcuffs. Specifically it is the inscription: "MARCAS REGISTRADAS." Do either the low serial number, the Bangar Punta ownership time, or the inscription of "MARCAS REGISTRADAS" give any extra value or it doesn't matter?" Excuse my redundance in this matter.

There are lots of variations of Model 100 Handcuffs, but none of them add much value to the cuffs. Most Handcuff collectors specialize in older handcuffs and few try to create a complete collection of modern cuffs.

The Model 94 and aluminum models 925 and 926 have collector value as do the early 1912 Peerless cuffs that are marked "Made by Smith & Wesson". The early Model 90 handcuffs and any Model 90 cuff that is new in the original box also has value ($50 to $75). Most Model 100 cuffs are worth $15 to $25 or so - even the early "pat pending" and Springfield marked models. Most Model 100s have been made in the Smith & Wesson plant in Maine. Model 100 handcuffs were introduced in the late 1970s.

While I can't provide a source, I recall reading that the serial numbers on Smith & Wesson Handcuffs have been repeated several times and they really can't be used to age date a pair of cuffs. Some military models did not include a serial number.

Hope this helps.

The numbers on S&W handcuffs are assembly numbers, not serial numbers. Ed.
