Austria-Hungary Erzherzog signature - who am I

[Ian]

Whilst working on some stuff regarding the House of Habsburg I came across the signature of one of the younger Erzherzogs and I am hoping that some one on this site can tell me his name?

Is it possible to enlarge the image, I have a few candidiates a more detailed image may help to eliminate some.

Uwe,

Thank you. By closing one eye and squinting with the other I can now see Karl Albrecht in the signature block. I was thinking that the 'K' was actually an 'L' or a 'J'.

Regards,

Ian

Hi Ian,

it is a "C". Carl, not Karl. See the C.A. (Carl Albrecht) under the crown in the first link.

Uwe,

Many thanks. (Most) English language sites i visited after your orignal answer have him as Karl and not Carl. Obviosuly a mistake on their part.
