At first glance I'd say Pruddero  :-\

Maybe a little more of the image would help to identify similar letters in other words?

Hi David,

Have adjusted the contrast, colour etc and think it says   PRUSDERO.    What do you think?

I agree the middle letters look rather like "sd", but I'm inclined to stick with my first thought, if only because it's the only actual surname I can find that fits . . .

Incidentally, I did a G**gle search after I posted that, and my post was 3rd item on the list, "posted 38 seconds ago" . . . their search engines are damn quick !!!

Looks like a "d" on the end of the name to me.

I thought the first letter after the initial capital was a rather narrow o. then nsden then?--- so posssibly Ponsden-- Ponsdend . But I do need new spectacles ::)  Viktoria.
