The Simplex

[Grassy]

Here is a razor that I've never seen before. I just won this on the bay, I haven't received it yet but thought I would ask here, while I wait, to see if anyone has any information on it.
Pictures are from the bay and it is of British manufacture, pat no. 12224/12.
I've had no luck finding anything but would be interested to know something about it.
It has an interesting approach to holding the blade and I'm hoping it might hold a wedge or Gem blade, I'll have to wait and see.

Cool score. Waits shows a bunch of variants of the unmentionable Simplex but there is one that took a wedge blade which yours shows the typical stropper for a wedge. Simplex Best Quality......Not a lot of info though and says Manufacture unknown. Not much but all I have right now. riverrun hopefully can come thru

Thanks Intersting, might be a lead. Although it is a German company it could have been British made. I'm thinking it probably took a wedge although many early flat blade razors also came with a stropper. 
I'll have to Google some more.
