Picked up two bowling balls for my son. I took it to the pro shop to get it redrilled for his thumb. The fingers were ok but the thumb....... Well that and the name Monica on it had to got too.

shangus,

Replica screw-lock darby handcuffs.

Now what, pray tell, are you going to do with these?

 

[Shangas]

Not much. I wanted them to go along with the whistles I have.

 

[dh66]

Well, that's a relief to know

 

[Shangas]

What were you expecting, huh?? Naughty boy.

LOL! I'm not the one with the handcuffs

 

[Shangas]

If I ever get the chance, I'd like to buy a pair of snap-lock darbies, instead of these screw-lock ones, but beggars can't be choosers.

 

[V.C. Brunswick]

I can't argue with that. You seem to know more about this than I do.

Always defer to an expert.

Preferably one with manners. When I showed those cuffs on another website one user was extremely tactless and rude. I stopped listening to him after his second post and got most of my information from another member who was a collector of antique police equipment.

Works for me. Did he give you a lead on where to get the cuffs you want?

 

[Shangas]

I can buy the type I want online pretty easily, but I don't want to expend the money on the prices that people are asking. Maybe one day I might, but I'm in no rush.
