I have a pair of S&W handcuffs new in the 1970's that have a high security lock, almost like a pop machine key.
I would like to return these cuffs to service but both keys have been lost, one vanished, the other at the bottom of Lake Erie (long story).
I tried S&W up in Springfield and even sent them the cuffs, but they have no backstock on these items.
The single bow of each handcuff has been marked with an "A" which I am told is a key code.
I know it's a long shot, but I need to turn to the collector community now.
Thanks,
