    Assistance With Last Name Signature...

    This last name signature has troubled me for years - I just cannot make it out (Sorry, but I prefer not to disclose this individuals unit, rank, etc.)

    Can anyone be of assistance in regards to the actual spelling of this individuals last name ???

    Thankx...

    Looks like "Kretz" to me.

      Thankx for this.....

      Anyone else with an opinion ???

      *** This fellow was clearly a "Heavyweight" in the Puppy World (signing various Hundestaffel related papers / ID's), but I've had one heck of a time over the years in obtaining a positive ID...

        Another possible reading is "Beck".

          IMHO is the first letter "K","B", "R" or maybe "Sütterlin" font type "S", and the last letter "k", "r", or "z".
          The name can therefore have many variants, for example :
          Beer, Berger, Beck, Bork, Kretz,Kratz, Rask, Roller, Reder,Sack,Satz, Stark...

            I thought the first and last were K initially when I had a look.....

            Kock?

            However, depends if you write your signature with the intention it it being read.....

              That's what I initially thought, too, "Kock", but then I saw the horizontal slash top right. Apart from "Kretz", It might also be "Klotz".

                    I also read the signature very often and tried to identify the correct name - but could not find out more than the above already given variations. The individuality of each signature makes it very difficult to read the correct name.
