Title: Need help to decipher a signature from the 1940s
Post by: SteveKNS on Monday 07 October 19 20:42 BST (UK)

I'd much appreciate some suggestions for what the attached artist's signature says.

The best that I can make of it is "Ian ?" or maybe "Jonesy" but I am not sure at all. It's from a small drawing of a family member who served in the military - it dates from WW2. I don't have any other handwriting examples to compare it with, unfortunately.


Many thanks,

Steve

What about"Josh"? - although the first letter's a bit of a facer. franh

Yes, Joel and Josh both look like better options than mine - thanks Igor and Fran for your suggestions. Much appreciated!
