Help reading Suetterlin script

[TWS]

If I could request a quick favor from our members proficient at Suetterlin.

Need help deciphering a name tag. I always thought the first characters are "Lt." since it in a Kavallerie/Aufklaerer Leutnant service tunic, but I could be wrong. Anyway, the family name after that is beyond my deciphering skills.

Appreciate any help!

This is a little closer shot:

Yes it reads "Lt." for Leutnant
As for the name, Suetterlin is not the problem - A combination of fuzzy image and poor handwriting makes reading the rest a poor guess at best.

Perhaps posting a sharp image might help with the reading

No worries. Shared with a German acquaintance and he is fairly certain it's Lucass and agrees with me that it's "Lt." or Leutnant Lucass in total.

Unfortunately without a full name, the Bundesarchiv tends to be less than enthusiastic about looking someone up - at least the last time I dealt with them - which was admittedly about 15 years ago.

If the number on the label was feldpost 07172, at one point this had related to Armee-Nachrichten-Regiment 501 - though this was prior to the tunic’s date of 1942. The Waffenfarben on the tunic does suggest Signals. This may be an avenue to explore.

That's a trick of the light in that photo. It's Goldgelb for Cavalry/Recon.
