'Tis easy to tell. The Parker "Case" razors were made in Solingen.
W R Case & Sons made razors in Bradford PA. Always.

In the case of the razor above it is easy, because of the box.

BUT:

Parker was a bit naughty with knives made in Germany though. He had them marked "USA", by using the "Case family brands" trade marks. e.g. a knife marked "Kane Bradford PA USA" was actually made in Germany, without stating the country of manufacture. (Which is actually a legal requirement). He did the same with many of the "Case XX Classics" knives, although some of those were made in the USA by Queen Cutlery.

I wonder if Odset's new razor has "Germany" anywhere on the blade or tang?
Because that's where it was made.
