Question about Dubl Duck Special #1
I was lucky enough to find a Dubl Duck Special #1 last weekend at a small antique store. The blade seems to be in great shape – no chips or rust to speak of and very little wear to speak of, at least to my untrained eye. I figured $20 wasn’t too bad considering what I’ve seen others sell for on eb@y. I really didn’t have the money to spend, but this may be the only one of these I’ll find in the wild. J
However, after looking at a few others that have been pictured I’m wondering if this one has been rescaled. It has simple, clear yellow plastic or celluloid scales with no marking on them. The pins don’t look bad, but I can’t tell if they’re original or not. The pictures I’ve seen of other Special #1’s have had words stamped on the scales, so I wonder if these are original. No big deal if they’re not since it would be a good reason to have custom scales made, or make them myself, but I don’t see the need to pop the pins if the razor is all original.
Any ideas?
