Rather than duplicate what's already available on the Internet, for the most comprehensive information about handcuff collecting you might start by checking out one of the most famous and amiable of web-hosts, who is known worldwide as Yossie.
You can find pictures of 469 items from his collection plus links to lots of other interesting information via www.blacksteel.com/hcs/

In Britain, Alex Nichol's book "Guidebook to HANDCUFFS and other restraints of the world" is generously photo illustrated and has historical as well as technical information. A second book by the same author which covers other forms of restraint as well handcuffs and leg-irons is also now available. Check out his site via www.alexhandcuffs.com

To buy a range of modern police hardware via the Internet, a useful new British source seems to be Ian Cook's www.thehandcuffshop.com ... but a search on the Internet will bring you dozens of suppliers of authentic handcuffs and manacles, police uniforms and much more available in different countries.
Tact is required if purchasing from genuine law enforcement outlets. For bondage oriented hardware and reproduction prison manacles etc it's a case of comparing prices and reputations for reliability of the various suppliers - and it's worth remembering that importing can notch up unexpected additional costs.

Check with suppliers as to what it is legal to purchase or import
