Hard to tell from the photo. Clear shots of the stampings on both sides of the tang might be more useful.

I could be wrong, but it seems to me when a razor is double stamped, as in New York and Germany, the razor was produced in Germany for the company in New York. The issue is often that there is no makers mark, most of the info is about the reseller. Some of the resellers were well noted for selling exceptional blade, Peter J.Micheals comes to mind as well as SR Droescher and I'm sure there are many many more.
