I humbly beg the indulgence of the most honourable & esteemed Brotherhood of Daffy Ducks in order to seek enlightenment upon the history of the manufacturers & models of these most illustrious blades.

My grandfather possessed one blade, which he called Bruce. I never understood it either

He said it was all the razor a man would ever need & that if I so desired I could have it when I needed it. He hadn't used it since his retirement from the Royal Navy in 1955. His beard was biblically prodigious by the time I arrived Unfortunately my father got hold of it when Ran passed on & it disappeared along with many other significant items.

What is known of Bruce? Not an awful lot. Ran told me it was Duck. It had gold shank & tang. The scales were, best I can remember, undecorated red brown semi tranclucent horn of some kind. It was was acquired somewhere around 1932, I think. Where? Not a bloody clue gentleman. He served all over the globe & as a Captain from 1930 & collected as he travelled.

My questions for your amusement & consideration are these.

When were Ducks first & last produced?

What sequence did the various Ducks appear & disappear?

By whom & at what times were they made?

Sorry to be so abrupt honourable squires & please feel free to remove this to a more appropriate locale if deemed necessary by the hallowed inquisitors. If this information is available anywhere please let me know.

In the mean time kind sirs, I eagerly attend your response with a keen eye on the bay & elsewhere for my admission to the club.

Many thanks

Spike
