Ladies and Gents,

somewhat encryptic in it's appearance it reads - for my eyes - as multiple choice (too bad) like

- Kumpf
- Rumpf

Don't no either as helpless as well to such a "Doktor-Gekritzel"

Best Wishes
Norbert

Sorry, Rémi. But you're wrong. The line is part of the letter "K".

Kindly regards

Yes, definitely Günther Kopf - the first letter is a "Sütterlin - K" - the " ' "above belongs to it.
The 3rd letter "P" is correctly written only in the 2nd pic the rest is written extremely sloppy and can easily be mistaken for a "g"

regards

Roland
