    The surname is Reißer. The ß is a German letter which can be substituted by double s.
    On the other side it says Orig. Rad., which is short for Original Radierung. Radierung is etching.

    You're welcome Sam.
    I was about to leave when I saw the signature, and I thought I'd better reply because that funny letter would have caused some confusion.;)
    It took me a while to find one which I could copy, my mind refused to tell me what it was called at first. It finally did, and I found the letter in print.:dead:

    For anyone who is interested, the letter is called Eszett or Ringel-s. Riveting stuff, right?:hilarious:

    Yes... I certainly would not have figured that out any time soon if you didn’t enlighten me! :):):)
