So, speaking of Knuckles, it sure is difficult to find much information about the history of these non-lethal/lethal weapons. Maybe that's why I have recently found two sets of unique knuckles and both were mis-identified by the sellers (antiques dealers in San Antonio, Texas and Siren, Wisconsin).
Knuckles, also called knucks, brass knuckles, or knuckle dusters, are weapons used in hand-to-hand combat. In spite of the name "Brass" knuckles they are made from all types of materials; brass, cast iron, steel, ect. but all fall under the generic name of "Brass Knuckles".
Authentic brass knuckles can be found at flea markets, swap meets, and antique stores. The notorious reputation and history have made them popular collector’s items.
Check out David Grant's YouTube video and his book on Knuckles and also stop by OldWestAntiques to see two very rare and unique examples of antique Knuckles.
