    Gd evening ,
    Just going to throw this out there .
    Found in a job lot of cents.
    Are there any handwriting specialist out there?
    I can't make out the name.
    .Why would a cent carry a a signature? ImageUploadedByTapatalk1424824212.098724.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1424824245.880579.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1424824255.580530.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1424824320.663880.jpg

    Looks like initials. I've seen a lot of these dated during WWII (and saw one today from the Korean War).

    Looks like H.J.D. to me. Interesting :)

    Maybe that person served in the Pacific and didn't know if he would make it back home alive.

    Pilots, during WW2 often carried these for good luck and identification. Looks like fish and some kind of American Indian drawings?

    Thanks guys will continue with research , to interesting to ignore and put aside.
    If it was carried for good luck then maybe it worked ,
    Like to think that the owner came home safe.
    It found its way to the UK so if any body could shed some light on the name I would return it.
    Is there a registry over there ( im assuming American soldier) that I can access to filter names from 1943 / WW11.
    My apologies for first photo it was late here when I uploaded.
    Cheers.
