Never thought I'd ever get the chance to own one of these. It is crazy hollow for as big as it is. Needs a little cleanup and to be honed. The scales are pretty straight but the pivot pin is loose.

Nice blade, congrats!
Sweet
Wow cool blade. I hadn't seen a 8/8 Goldedge before.
Nice. I've not seen one of those before either.
Awesome razor!
Yes . Beautiful one.
Dang... where'd you find it? Antique shop? Estate sale?
I once had a 8/8 dublduck that I bought with a pretty sizable chip. I honed it out and it became a 7/8. Still an unbelievable shave. But I sold it...bad, bad, bad mistake.
And there's that NOS one that was supposedly 9/8 on ebay that didn't sell (meet the reserve) even though it hit $1000USD
Nice score.
And yes, DD are very thin ground in general (obviously excepting razors like the wedge). You should see a WonderEdge, probably the thinnest ground razors I've ever seen. They make for very sharp razors.

Sorry for necro-ing this thread, but came across this post. I'm pretty sure i eventually purchased this one. Still got it, mint. It's never been used, no rust, and has all gold and etching. Between mint and NOS condition. Afraid to hone or shave with it, but every once in a while i pull it out of its box and admire it... By far (far, far) my favorite blade.
Well, show us some pics. These big Ducks are pretty rare.
Really nice razor. Let us know how it shaves.
Thanks for the nudge @alex1921
First attempt here at a razor "photoshoot" but gave it my best shot heh... Grabbed some kit off the bathroom counter, and took it to the kitchen for the under-cabinet mood lighting. LR was my friend - I don't have an expensive camera.
Still working on my honing skills, so will send it to a pro for sure. If i ever get the cojones to shave with it like a real man, I'll post the experience (and very-likely, phlebotomy) here.
