    Default Dubl Duck "Imperial Ruusia"

    well I have been throwing around the idea of buying yet ANOTHER strop !! was looking at trying to mix a few things up and have some choices of diff draw .. while looking at a few new one's I came across this beauty and decided that I would take a shot at it and with it's condition it would be like a new one with the added allure of the vintage factor !!
    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!

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

    I rest my case.

    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.

    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.
