So here's a fun one...
I have someone who asked me where to get a pair of manacles for a LARP.
The game in question is Knight Realms, which is a dark / fantasy game with Gothic overtones, and a PG-13 rating.
Obviously, the manacles need to be safe for both the wearer and the people around him / her (We have a rule that a weapon / prop has to be safe in the hands of the lowest common denominator, since anyone might accidentally pick up your prop and try to use it). However, they should look somewhat realistic. All of the safer ones I have seen are "Love Cuffs" that are pink, fuzzy, leopard fur, etc. - not quite the kind you'd use to trap someone in the Chains of Justice or bind them down for an Exorcism.
I figure someone in this crowd might know a place that sells manacles that are safe for the average wearer, while also looking acceptable as a prop for a medieval LARP.
