Assume some poor Pom would have worn these when first transported to the wilds of Australia ..... before he was released and went searching for gold.

Complete with original "key" only marking inscription is "HII TT" ???

Tom did you find the handcuffs on the goldfield?

No MB, they are just some old stuff I have laying around that I found when doing a bit of a clean, along with some keys and a "jailors" or watchmans brass keyring. Figuring out how to best set them up for display.

Thanks Wally for the old advert.

Cheers Tom
