It looks nice, but I have never heard of a DD best quality. The link didn't work for me so I had to type in the item number.
Im not sure how to insert the link the right way. I cant tell what the tang says in the first pic, i think it says satin edge but not sure. And ducks on both sides of tang. Never seen that before. Its just weird.
Vintage Straight Razor Fritz Bracht Solingen Germany | eBay
The etch doesn't match the tang stamp. It makes me think that someone out that on long after the fact. However I am not the all knowing so perhaps its all suppose to be together. If it is then this must be a very rare razor
Dovo/Ducks
and
Dovo/Puma
They are both out there

That is just one of the threads about it on here
So this is a "duck" i may try to get this one just cause its a full blade. I see little use or wear. Bet its a good shaver! I will try to get it since it dosent look like anyone else is interested.
Before Pearlduck there were many strange razors sold by Bresnick but that pretty much ended when Pearlson took over the outfit and he sold all the familiar models until he incorporated Beau Brummel. It's possible it's old stock but they definitely do exist. Maybe he did a limited buy from Dovo or someone else.
A mystery like that plane eh?
HMMMMMM---first take a look at his rating---96% :thinking:if its not 98---100% ----goodbye.Yep,looks nice but is it a part --together razor:gaah:
don't be too quick to pass judgement, look at the feedback and read it first. seller had 1 neg out of 30 fb, 29/30 would be impossible to have better than 96.6%, could have been a nasty buyer, haha. when theres neg feedback I try to read comment and original description, new or used item, and determine for myself if it looks like a picky buyer or dishonest seller.Quote:

gssixgun- what about those scales? looks like the modern dovo replacements, no applique might suggest a rescale? I know the lack of the dovo applique isn't conclusive but it has me rethinking. the box for it surely wasn't fritz's tennis brand, that would be a sloppily put together presentation, fritz's reputation wouldn't suggest the company would mix & match like that????????? :confused:
I have been staring at that duck for a while now. things to ponder...
1) zoom in as best you can on the bevel.... is that rusting and pitting I see there? or are my eyes playing tricks on me?
2) is it just my eyes (still and again!) or is this a 9/16? I have seen very few razor scales get the 3 pin treatment in the smaller sizes, but it just strikes me as a narrow blade. This one would really benefit from better and more photos.
Silverloaf, I would not say that, and without close up HD shots of the pins, or the razor in my hand, I wouldn't wager a guess
HOWEVER
I have had plenty of DD's from many era's of their production without inlays pass through my hands..
Like Spendur already said DD didn't "Make" these they had them made to spec. they changed several times throughout their production time, so making definitive judgments even with the razor in hand can be tuff let alone from e-bay pics...
But to sorta answer your question Yes I have seen DD's with these scales before and they had no indication of being changed after the factory
So yer WAG is as good as mine :shrug:
hahaha, well said:DQuote:

I wondered that too. It wasnt me. I pulled the trigger on a goldedge and spent my allowance. :(
I was going to but the OP said he was going for it ? Ha, saved me some money.
