No, not quite. Pearlduck didn't come into existence until well after WWll probably 48 or 49 I'm thinking. Back in those days the average Joe probably earned around 4 grand a year. Of course in those days you could buy a new car for $1500.

Some of the early Bresnick marked models make no mention of where they were made and I suspect those are U.S made.

More interesting stuff from dubl duck!

And yet a few more from Dubl Duck!

I got one of those I think ? It has been used A LOT but still shaves very well.
Funny thing...... I noticed the (made in Germany) After I posted this.

I was tempted to buy some of these ads myself but thought naaaawww. Glad you posted them. My Goldedge PearlDuck is not on the ad and it's dimensions a little different also. It's round toe and 1/16 over 6/8



Not sure where to measure blade length but from the back of the stabilizer to the tip toe is 3 1/16 " .

I was a little surprised when I opened it. Condition and size.

i been thinking bout the one with the duckhunter on it ..lol...
my Bresduck DWARF says Germany and my Pearlduck #1 says Germany also ... neither say anything bout the good ol U.S.OF A.

This thread got me curious so I checked each of my two No.1 Special blades. One is marked Bresduck Double Duck Solingen Germany and the other is marked Pearlduck Double Duck REG.U.S.PAT.OFF. . Nowhere on the Pearlduck blade is the country of origin stamped. Interesting but both shave equally well.

Is it likely that the scales were of US manufacture, and the blades were all from one place? It would seem odd for a company to have disparate forges for one model, although I guess back in "those days" the $1 price difference could help offset such an arrangement?

I recently came upon a REG US PAT OFF Dubl and I've been pursuing as much knowledge as possible re: its origins. But unfortunately, this whole Made in America thing has thrown everyone for a loop :/.

Very interesting! Would such a practice exist throughout Dubl Duck's history, particularly Pearlduck?

My main worry, and it seems to be unfounded (for the moment), is that the quality of the blade and its shave are less than the German counterpart of that particular model. However, on the other hand, considering how infrequently the "REG US PAT OFF" models are mentioned, I can't help but wonder how many of such models exist?
