Couldn't find any information about the brand, even in LensVM.

The "maker" isn't very suitable for google searching as RIESE in German mean travel/journey!

The engraving looks a lot like Goerz and C.E.RIESE fills exactly the same space in the ring engraving as C.P.GEORZ!

LATER:
Not to cover up my mistake - but if you don't read further in the thread - RIESE is Giant. It is REISE which is journey/travel.

Dear Steven,

small correction on this. The translation for travel/journey is REISE, just putting the E and the I the other way around. Also the word RIESE has a meaning, it describes a giant.

However in this context I guess it is only the name of the manufacturer.

Best regards from Hamburg

Sorry, I am very careless with ie and ei - a minor word blindness complaint, that effects my written english as well.

You would think I would have learned it by now as I own a considerable number of reisekameras!!

I have a Riese 180mm Dagor that is indistinguishable from my Goerz Berlin Dagor (comparing reflections side-by-side).

C.E. Riese was a very small lens mfg in Berlin in the 1890's to 1920's. He provided amongst other mfg. lenses for Ernemann cameras.
