    I lived about 20 miles away from Vierzon, en Sologne. There's still weapon's factories there (Matra...), but this razor is from the first part of the XX century, and at this time all other french razors producters remaining were based in Thiers, the others (Langres, Nogent, Sens, Chatellerault) did not managed to reach the new industrial level, that solingen stated. There products were too expensive, and not "up to date" (wedges and not hollow ground ā la solingen)

    A famous firm like HOSPITALET (grelot) marks a lot of razors for small cutelry shops, with the name of the shop or the owner.

    But you could also possibly be right !
