Yes, that explains why the beak is much too shiny. I used to have ducks (live ones). So I know how much shine a beak can and should have. Rubbing a living duck's beak until you obtained this level of polish would have been cruel and unnecessary - even in 1960.

Quack.

Is this real or... well, stuffed?

^ Stuffed...my grandfather killed it in the 60's and after he passed away it ended up at our house. His name is Martin.
