RIGA // six-pointed star, ?OLDSGN(R?)IDT(A or R?) around

From Paul Cannon, "I believe this can probably be reconstructed/read as [A. W]OLFSCHMIDT // RIGA. He is the famous Alfred Wolfschmidt whose firm made Black Balsam but also produced other alcoholic spirit drinks. Many seals are known in Cyrillic script but this one is in Latin see The International Exhibition of 1862."
