Help needed to identify this razor please

[elmerwood]

Some one asked me if I'd like to purchase this razor from them, but I don't know what it is. I cant read the case clearly enough to do some research on it. I was hoping someone with better eyes or maybe someone has one that can shed some light on it. The case looks very similar (clasp and all) to some of the older Gillette pocket editions. These are the only photos I have sorry. Thanks gents.

I cant make it out......

I think I can make out the larger print in the headliner as "Fritz Rückels" and "Mannheim." Using that, I can turn up plenty of references to a cutlery dealer in Mannheim, Germany who apparently still exists -- at least as of September 2008 when Google last updated Street View in that location (click the linked image below to see it for yourself):



It looks like they also used to have a Web site at www.rueckels.com, but the registration on that domain has since lapsed, so I don't know if they're still in business or not.

As always, Porter great CSI work. I couldn't see it even at max view.

Those German cities are nice and tidy - not a speck of litter!
