Thread: dubl duck experts ... is this a rescaled Satinedge ?

I have been cleaning this one up because my other ducks are great shavers

These look fairly authentic to me, or at least coming from Pearlduck. The bolsters are of the same design as those of translucent Satinedge scales or of Otto Deutsch.

Yea they're both pearl/satinedge's


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.
