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.

@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?
