Wotan, Im sure the "d" in D. R. is the standard Sutterlin script "d", which is why Paul M. had interpreted d. R as "vr"....in fact, the whole of "Lt. d. R" matches the Sutterlin, as you can see in the Sutterlinschrif site i mentioned among others. As for the script of the name, its open for debate, it seems to me...
