    Here is an ad from from 1930. This is all I could locate about this company.

    Hey Walt, yes stumbled upon this pic, and some minor info about establishment, but nothing useful, and completely nothing on Black devil model. I can post some pic later.

    Alex Mertens and Paul Heider. The archiving industry register has them in Solingen in 1925 (although they could have been there earlier) and they show up in a german address book as follows:

    @Neil: thanks, if I understand correctly they are still in business, What I was wondering also was when the razor might be made.. any thoughts on that?
