Dubl Duck "Imperial Ruusia"

well here it is !!

Hey, where was I when this popped up ? Your pretty fast on the trigger there buddy. Nice grab :<0)

What ever you do be careful washing the linen. That stamp is fragile, real fragile. Soaking takes it off.

I saw it & bid but he beat me. If I had known it was my Greaves buddy, I'd have just let it be!

we need a better communication system ... lol..
its ok though ! i still felt comfortable where i was !! thanks though

Man! That is in good shape! I recently got a few oldies and really love them. Condition is everything! :tu

I just got a similar one about two months ago, the leather on mine say's Pig Skin, but the strop leather and linen is the exact same - took awhile to clean it up, there's a thread here about it.

I've treated the leather on mine twice, and it is still as hard as a rock, feels like a glass surface, been palm rubbing it like crazy, but still rock solid.

Be careful - that Green stamp on the linen will fade and run very easily....great catch.

Mine says hi. Though I think the linen has been swapped...

It's an awesome strop! You still got a smoking' deal. I'm in selling mode now & need to thin the herd. We're always communicating. We just need to let the other know what we might be interested in bidding on.

Great Find!!!
