Looks like a Schaller-made German Original Floyd Rose to me.
That is what I thought also. Guys says it's an original but I am not sure.

Technically, both are "originals."
The giveaway, other than looking for the Made In Germany stamp (which is no longer on new ones) on the underside, is the bend in the baseplate to the plane the fine tuners are on. The 1000 series surface with the fine tuners is a bit narrower than on the Schaller-made originals, and the bend is sometimes less precise.
The saddles used to have a bevel on the back edge, but that is no longer the case. The back portion of the saddle behind the hinge might also be shorter. The arm attachment is slightly different and the arms often don't fit as well on the 1000.
All of that is hard to see on the picture. I was mostly looking for the bend in the baseplate, but I wouldn't say I'm confident.
