    Hi All,
    I have a pair of handcuffs, marked in several areas - Coventry, Goal, Hard Warranted Wrought 14 & 22(twice), they attract a magnet. I've found some the same with Hiatt, no Hiatt on mine (that I can find). no key with them
    how do I know if they are old or new?
    any information appreciated
    thanks for looking:)

    Its Gaol, as in Jail.
    Coventry Gaol existed in the UK 18th century.
    It closed in 1860.

    They look real enough to me.
