Max,
I have a similar book that I bought at an estate sale several years ago. Has a very similar signature. I always wondered if it was authentic or not. Did you find any more information about your book.
Below a photo of the signature in the book that I have.
I did find another copy of the book for sale that also has this type of more formal signature.

Does anyone know anything more about this book or signature?
Thanks in advance for your help.
