Title: Decipher a signature please
Post by: Quester on Tuesday 03 July 18 15:06 BST (UK)

Hi,
 I wonder whether someone could decipher the three letters from this signature please? I wondered whether they read W A S or could it be N A S or something else entirely?
All thoughts greatly appreciated. Regards Quester

I'd say it's W A S

While the first letter looks a bit like N, the other capital N & M go straight down on the RH leg,
whereas this letter flicks up.

I think it's W.A.S too.  :)

Thank you to both of you - that's great - just have to work out who it was now!
Best Wishes from Quester

'A' same as in August.

Thanks Rosinish,
 That pretty much confirms it.
