Mallard Drake made in Mississippi

This is a rare mallard drake that we believe was an originally produced as a black duck in Mississippi.  This bird was hollowed at similar to the Premier decoys from the Mason Factory.  Before the black ducks head was removed and replaced with a greenhead, it appears to have been held on by "hardware" shown on either side of the neck.  Proof of hunters resourcefulness in the 1940's, really cool bird!
