The range of Clemen & Jung handcuffs (including both the “No.15 heavy” handcuffs, and the “No.17 heavy [cuff] with anchor”) has also been marketed by a second Germany company, Cuffsland, which has promoted restraints to both law enforcement and civilian communities. Its website entry for the Clemen & Jung “No.17 [hand]cuff with anchor” has stated: “At first sight [this restraint] is a strange combination of a single Clejuso 15 heavy weight handcuff with a lockable anchor. Its purpose is to attach a prisoner or suspect to a solid anchoring point like a ring on a wall.”205[Emphasis added]. 199 Cuffsland website, http://www.cuffsland.com/czech.html (accessed 17 January 2018).
