Original German WWII Era Police “Come Along” Chain Nipper Handcuffs

Original Item. Only One Available. Come-along handcuffs, also known as "nippers" or "come-alongs," are antique, often T-handled restraint devices from the late 19th and early 20th centuries designed for pain compliance during prisoner transport. These devices were wrapped around a subject's wrist, the handles secured together, and the chain twisted to control movement.

This set is a great WWII German set still in good functional condition. They are unmarked but still work very well, showing wear an some past oxidation to the handles. They measure roughly 14” long, and the ends still lock together correctly.

These are documented as having been used by the Kriminalpolizei, Volkspolizei, Transport Police, Grenztruppen, and Stasi during the war. 

A great set, ready for further research and display.
