We know several authors named Heksher.
Shemuel ben Meir Heksher wrote Misped mar, in Germany.
Efrayim ben Shemuel Sanvel Heksher wrote Adne paz and Divre Hakhamim ve-.hidotam and Leviyat .Hen.
So Heksher as name of an author of a Hebrew work is not unheard of.
Shats is a familiar abbreviation for Shelia.h tsibbur, as in cantor. I do not know a Heksher who was a Shats, but such a person would be likely to write -- or to own -- a prayer book.
No?

Dear group,
I have laid in on a sheet and also inscribed in the back cover of a book (Sefer ha-hayim, oder, Vollstandiges Gebet ... : Brilon, 1856) the following phrase:
"Heh,ayin,kuf,shin,resh" "Shin,gershayim,tsadi"
I don't know that this means.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Heidi
