So how did it look to you? I already have a few minor changes in mind for it!
A guy on our team got two donated to the team a few years ago one black and one orange. I do not think they are still in business and their website is not active. www.amer-sea.com They were pretty well made of heavy duty cordura nylon. They only had one tank strap and it caused the tank to move around a lot. It was a vest style BCD which I am not a fan of. It also had a string operated shoulder dump which I was not a fan of. The orange vest faded real quickly too. Hope it works for you. Enjoy your purchase.

It looks a lot like the LGS BCD.
If it is its OK. I still haven't found the perfect BCD for PSD - I don't think it exists but the LGS one is close. Good points
- functional pockets! very few BCDs have decent pockets that thick gloves can manipulate
- pony bottle pockets. Work very well if you don't have a bracket mount and/or may save you from needing a bracket - faster tank changes too
- it's a jacket type - which we like better for PSD, some don't (lots of debate on here about back vs jacket inflate - no need to re-hash that)
- simple design & build - common decent parts
Bad points
- the tank flops around a great deal
- the jacket wraps over the harness attachment point on smaller people
