These are the familiar TCH 840 rigid speedcuffs, which have the Northern Ireland blue coloured gripping area.
I have not seen these handcuffs in photos very often but it's a known thing that these were for Northern Ireland. I have seen video footage where they were worn on officers belts, but I was never able to find this again on YouTube.
They have 3 pawl bars and all the other usual TCH features like back-loading and double locking.
The number of colours that TCH 840 speedcuffs come in are black, red, blue and yellow. Black are standard, as used by most police forces. Red are used during training which clearly identify the person in them is not actually under arrest. Yellow have been used by private security, to signify they are not impersonating a police officer, since they do not have the typical black colour. Blue is for Northern Ireland police.
Enjoy!
