I'm not sure but it looks like a striker sold by Mountainside Game calls . Earl Ritzman is the nephew of D.D. and he sells the line of calls still . Also sold by Harold Shields the Tuscarora legend , D.D's friend and employee . Is the name stamped on . It appears to be stamped , that is what leads me to believe it was sold after D.D passed on .

A lot of those were sold by Tuscarora Legend as well, have a few of those pot calls and strikers with DD's name stamped on.  You can still find them around in a handful of mom-n-pop general stores in the northern tier of PA.

The calls under the Tuscarora name were pretty good.

Picture could be better, but it does not look like anything I've seen by D.D. Adams. That appears to be a stamped name, where D.D. signed his.

On th other side of striker it does say  The  Legend   and both sides are stamped.  It sounds pretty good on a ceramic call that i have.

 If I'm not mistaken I saw some of them sitting on a table at Harolds stand in a local sports show in early Feb.
