There it is! F. Westpfal (sometimes spelled Westfal) was an importer at 186 E. Houston St. in New York City from 1884-1928.
Probably was made and stamped for them from an unknown German maker, as was the practice back then.
Interestingly there is a small cutlery and sharpening shop with an apparant stellar reputation, H. Westpfal operating in New York. A descendant? Would be kindof cool if they could hone it up for you!
