Thread: Odd Duck

Has anyone seen a DD Wonderedge with stamp on the tang "dubl (two ducks) ducR?

when bigspendur or 10pups sees your post they'll have an answer they know a lot about these razors good luck tc

I guess the better question is what does the R mean as apposed to a K?

Obviously misstamped or likely an anomoly in the area above the 'k'.

Nothing very obviously wrong with it other than there should be a stem above it that has worn away - like you would write a 'k' in the old longhand way. Mine looks the same as yours, but has the entire stem, also the trailing last bit of the 'k' should have a little kick-up or curl.

Thanks Neil. I never noticed it until a potential bidder asked me about it.

What strikes me is that the tang doesn't show the usual 'circles' typical of a wonderedge embossed throughout ?

The circles are there, just don't show well in this particular shot. This blade is almost 1/2" shorter than the other Wonderedge I have.

No worries, there's more than a few odd ducks on this forum - razors too!

yea I'm with Neil on this one.

Just one of those things.
