Could it - with any stretch of the imagination - be 'STEVENS'?

Lyn S  :)
Thank you for the suggestion, all worth noting.

JJ  :)
I packet has two stamps in and the other has 6 out of 12.  George V on them.

As suggested I am going to try and attach the whole of the postcard.

asking to much of him? and while you're at it...just the surname as big as
possible? ::)   :P   :-\  oh he's gonna like me isn't he?

Seeing as you asked JJ, my husband scanned it.
He enlarged it a lot and spotted a mark above the second letter and thinks it is STEVENS   ..

Hopefully I will be able to attach it.

 ;D Now that's big! No complaints here...tell your hubby that that was what I saw when I darkened the smaller one and was my thought also that it might be a "t"
It's a bit of a stretch, as that looks like a "P" to me but it may well be an "s"...
( How many versions of "r" do I see? :P )

Anyhoo...tell him he's a love and did a great job! :-*

Here's another wrench into the works, though... ;D
George Steven comma...
