I can't find any Josef Weiss in the Ordenstrager for any high end awards. There are a couple but I very much doubt that they are the same person due to the late war/low rank of those winners. No idea on the signature I'm afraid but the stamp looks to be Sonderstab W which was the covername (for want of a better term) used for the Legion Condor. Over 8,600 Spanish Cross in Silver were awarded but of that number only approx 327 were the Spanish Cross Without Swords.

Many thanks H,

There is a dedicated Legion Condor section over on the Axis History Forum that might be able to shed some light on the signature.
