Can't help you, but I have one.
Got it from gugi and it's a great shaver.
Thanks gugi.
Fritz Bracht made the Tennis line before he took over Dovo just prior to WWII according to this short history of Dove/Merkur here. So I expect that the Tennis line was pre WWII. Someone with the Goins book may be along with more accurate info.
All I could find (unfortunately no Tennis dates in Goins') was the following:
Fritz Bracht, Solingen-Wald, Böcklinstrasse 10 in 1940 and 1983. Brand name: 'Tennis'. Open-blade razor and safety-razor maker
I got it here: Razor makers
"Tennis" joined to DOVO in 1952.
Here is mine I just rescaled in curly maple with bocote wedge.
Nice job! and a good shaver too, I will bet.
