Help identify these vintage handcuffs.

Greetings from Tyler,
I have just acquired these really old Smith & Wesson handcuffs and don't have any clue how old they may be. If anyone can please tell me about them I would be very grateful. Thanks so much for your help...
Sincerely,
Tyler

These are Smith & Wesson Model 94 handcuffs. This design introduced a new lock type which used a large barrel type key. There were three slightly different versions (yours are Version 2) and they all date to the 1970s. This design was pulled from the market when prisoners were able to fashion "keys" out of parts of standard ball point pens. They cuffs are collectible, but not extremely valuable. I have seen sale prices range from $65 to slightly over $200 (New in original box). The extra stampings on the one bow of your pair would detract from collector value.

Hope this helps.

Steve
