Demaria-Lapierre folders

I just won a "Monte Carlo" with a Dehel Manar lens off of ebay. It looks nice and I was the only bidder. I haven't been able to find much useful information out about the camera or lens online - although the company was in existence for a long time and their cameras seem well regarded, I haven't been able to find any examples of photos taken with them, or about the quality of the Dehel lenses.

I did find the same model on Halgand's massive site: http://www.collection-appareils.fr/x/html/camera-1908-Demaria-Lapierre_Monte-Carlo.html

Not a RF of course, although they made RF versions of them.

Has anybody here had any experience with these cameras?

I've never heard of that camera either. Hope you can find more info on it. Would love to see a photo of it when you get it.
