H&R Arms Leg Irons - Hacksawed

Here is a rare set of leg irons, unfortunately damaged.



Set of vintage police leg irons. 50's 60's I believe....my uncle was a police officer during that period and they were found in his home. One leg section has been cut with some sort of metal saw....I'm guessing it was an escape attempt...

They are made by H&R arms co. Worcester, Mass. Heavy duty stainless steel....large heavy duty chains. Set has original key and it works.

Has receipt of repair attempt. Reads Sorry, parts no longer available to repair those obsolete leg irons. - eBay (14 Aug 2009)

This padlock had a high bid of $136.50 (Plus Free Shipping).

The last intact pair went for $700 on eBay. So quite a difference!
