Awesome painting

Bought this large painting today for a song. Every time I look at it I like it even more. The detail of it is amazing.

I have no idea on the artist though. The second picture is of what looks to be the signature which may just be initials and what looks like 55. Painted in 1955? The frame for the canvas has lots of writing on it in pencil which is mostly unreadable. I was able to make out one word, Kunstma...., which i think is "Kunstmaler", German for artist. Underneath that is "czin...." Then written in sharpie is "Tom Brennan J182 gold Wood Round"

I uploaded an imgur gallery with more images if you are interested.
