    Stuka  -  these are called 'leading handcuffs'.     The prisoner had one wrist handcuffed and was led by the handbar.       Prior to metal handcuffs , this was the earliest method of securing a prisoner - using rope.    The British had a similar metal pattern , but with a half cuff that went around the constable's left wrist.   There was always the risk that with one arm free the prisoner could attack you.    Mervyn
