Jurg(en) Hans Lisberg ?

Hi Hugh,

I had Hans part, but not the Jurg(en) part nor the Lisberg.

I can' t locate him in any of my books, but I will keep trying.

Thank you,

Ian

I would read it as:

Ing. Hans Lisberg oder Lieberg.

It´s quite interesting. His medals Show that he was Militärbeamter or civil serveant in the armed forces (40 years service medal) and that he was a Reserveoffizier who became quite well decorated in WW1. It´s an ebay-pic from richdaw - isn´t it?

Regards

Christian

I agree, Ing. looks more likely.  Not enough squiggles to  be a proper Jurg.  I was thinking of a name.not a title.

Christian,

Thank you for pointing out that it is Ing. Hans Lisberg or Hans Lieberg.  I will search through he Rangliste/Schematismus that i have and see if I can locate him.

I purchased the card off ebay.de and not from Richard Dawkins, but the card is identical to the one Richard was selling. So he  either signed two photos or I have bought the card that Richard Dawkins had previously sold.  Either way I am pleased to own it. Regards,

Ian

I have brought this topic back up because I think I may have identified my man.

I now believe his name is Johann Leiber and he was a Haupleut (1 Nov 1917) K.k. Landwehr verhätnis der Evidenz.

Curiously, the gentleman whose signature are we investigating about, is wearing both the military and civil Jubiläumsmedaille 1898 "Signum Memoriae"...
