Art luger but who was it issued to?

Telembugrm · 12-10-2022, 10:34 PM

As part of my collection I have come into possession of a 1917 DWM luger in "Artillery" specification. It is complete with matching shoulder board, magazine and leatherwork. Written on the shoulder board is the unit (46th Battery) regimental number and his name.
The name is in not entirely legible and there is considerable debate about what the original owners (or rather issuees) name is. I would appreciate any help in deciphering the name and advice as to where I mught be able to find his service record etc.
