I have a pair exactly like that, except the number is different. Don't know how sizes run, but these measure 2 7/8" when on the first click.

They were my father's. He was a New York City policeman. They were bought in the late 1950's, and I think they were pretty much what the NYPD used. I recall that the box they came in was printed in English. Never paid attention to the "Marcas Registradas" - always figured it was Latin.

He got them well into his career, and was not happy about having to spend the money. That was an era when most New York cops did not think they needed handcuffs - God help an arrestee who didn't come along peacefully.
