Have just managed to get another pair of the Manilla Thumbcuffs. On checking the ones that you show Joe in the gallery, I notice there is a difference. The two pairs I have are chain connected but only have a single link. Is anyone familiar with this model? They are adjustable to 8 sizes are made of stainless steel (probably recycled as the finish is burnished to remove any old marks). The centre ring is closed but is not welded. Are the links on your model welded? I do not think either pair has been altered from the three link model. The key which is original is very slightly thinner than a standard Peerless key. Photo to be attached.
Will probably auction the spare set on ebay next week. Any info gratefully appreciated.
