I was unable to find the marque but the scales appear French. New Orleans is a very French town.

Not familiar with that bird trademark, as Richard (Geezer)said the scales look very french, but the blade is definitely German. That said the brothers Richard & Earnest Herfarth were in business in Louisiana from 1986 to 1931,so anyways you have a timeline for your razor.
I did come across some other razors with their business name with the Henckles logo. Definately a high quality German razor.

I have an F.A. Koch retail, made in Solingen, with identical scales (same shape in bone). As most 20th century import to the US I have seen was from Solingen, my bet is a Solingen manufacturer.

The only bird stamping that comes to mind is the one Robert Klaas used but that was the 2 bird "kissing cranes".
