Came from a lot, none were rescaled as far as I know
As to the original question...
those are definitely not original, in my opinion. Look at the last picture- there is a brass flat washer under the pin.
Dubl Ducks that I've seen all have domed washers or steel rivets.
My guess from the pics is that it is a re-scale, but I need to see the pins on both side to be sure... DD pins are very distinct...
Just because we haven't seen those type of scales on a Satinedge yet,,, doesn't automatically rule the possibility out... Heck we have seen DD's with mis-stamps too, this could be a factory mis-build....
In another thread on a Flying Dutchman/Bresnick John Crowley opined that the scales may have been put on by the factory because they ran out of the 'proper' scales for that razor. I don't have enough knowledge or experience to dispute that. Could it have been the case here with this Satinedge ?
That was my thought too Jimmy, I hate to say "no way is it factory"
we have all seen to many weird razors out there...
Even if it were in my hands I could never be 100% sure...
Bigspendur knows way more than I do about DD's and all their cousins, he has seen way more of them then I have, I just work on a lot of them :) which is why I said if I could see the pins I might could tell.... I am sure he will weigh in soon...
I thought it was odd that the seller used a dated photo from 2006.Does the razor still look like it did then?Also,the only close-up of the pivot pin was blurry as heck.
