Dear Spencer, to the best of my knowledge the Kruger cuff has not been manufactured. There was a reference in the book Handcuffs, Vol 1 By Carl Roper who unwittingly described the mechansim as an 'Ace' lock. ( radial pin tumbler )wereas the real mechanism of this handcuff is a combination lock. This maybe the reason that it has not been made as turning the small dial to accurately align three numbers would be difficult on a prisoners wrists.
: Can someone out there tell me if the Kruger handcuffs pat. no. 1,342,334 were ever actually manufactured?
