Signature of Ernst J?nger?

[JensF.]

Hi guys,

today I got the book "Hier spricht der Feind" from Ernst J?nger. On the first page after the cover I found this signature and the date 1931. It may sound strange, but for me the signature looks like "Ernst J?nger"...

Jens,

There seems to be a rather small, but nevertheless discernible signature shown at http://www.perlentaucher.de/buch/13964.html

If the link shows his signature, then I think the text above is probably something else.

I forgot to add this link, which is a good starting point for further information on Ernst J?nger:

I suppose you mean the upper writing. This looks to me like the name "Albrecht Eigen".

It says "Albrecht" what looks like "Eihren" as last name "1931." "seinem lb. Br?der Herman" (this is the German handwriting style which places a flat line over a single letter to indicate there were two of the same letter) and "z. 3.7.32."

The flat line sometimes seen above single letters in German handwriting is either a badly written Umlaut, or more usually a sign used above the letter u to show that it is not an n. Without this distinction, it is almost impossible to read the squiggles that some people call handwriting.

You also see the same sort of thing in Russian handwriting, but with the line below the ш to show that the squiggles at the bottom of the character are closed, for example.

So no signature from Ernst...

Thanks guys!!!
