Is this Akro or Christensen?

They're not unique. That's a big discussion.  Some people say eyelashes not only mean Akro, but they mean Akro from the 1920's from before Ira Freese tinkered with the machines.  I strongly disagree.

Every now and then someone will post a marble from another maker to show non-Akro eyelashes.  But all Akro corkscrews were made after Ira Freese did his famous tinkering at Akro.  Every now and then some just ended up with lashes.  

I think it's just about whether the shearing mechanism is getting worn or needs sharpening.
