The duckling made it in today! Too much stuff going on with Easter tomorrow to do anything with it though. Oh well at least it's here! And on the age it is after ww2 to before 1970 since it is a pearl duck. That's the best info that I can find on it at least.Last edited by Paul76; 04-15-2017 at 09:00 PM.

Paul, you made a very nice find. It looks like no one has fooled with it. It will be a superb shaver and can look brand new. Enjoy.

I agree. It has the original "bluing" on the tang. If you are careful with your cleaning you should be able to save that. Tape is often helpful when preserving such things. Looks good.

Well I didn't know that was original. In the sellers pics you really can't see that at all, they probably took the pics at an angle to make it appear shinier. I'll get some oil on it soon to keep the little bit of rust starting on it at bay. One of the scales is slightly warped but I've read some tips for taking care of that problem fairly easily. Thanks for the compliment and the info rezdog.

I finally was able to have the time to clean and hone the duckling, and it cleaned up nice and easy. Took care of a few other razors as well. Still needs the final cro2 and stropping but the way that little duck was plinking hairs off my arm I think I'll be very impressed by this one!

Excellent. I have a DD Secial no. 1 that is a very good razor. I have had others but that one is the only DD razor that has gotten permanent resident status.

I'm thinking that the dwarf will be a permanent resident, but only test driving it tonight will tell me for sure. That little guy honed without much difficulty, but it already had a good start on a nice edge when it came. Just a few tiny chips that I couldn't see til about 40x magnification. It did not take much to set a nice bevel. But so far I'm liking what I'm seeing.
