Can anyone help me decipher this signature?

[LaBelleSauvage123]

I’m doing some family tree research and can’t find this person - it’s definitely a male. What do you think?

Hans Kyltuuz

Hans Kyltuutz?

First name is Hans by the looks of it. Surname could be a ...haus ending?

I think it's somewhere along the lines of Hans Kylthuuf or Kylthuut.

Hans Kylt...tz

Have put all those into ancestry.com and no joy.

Stab in the dark but what if the first name is Francis?

I read it as Harold Kylhurst.

To explain my reasoning a bit more, some people used to do the 'F' character with backwards horizontal lines if you see what I mean.

Hans Kylhauf ?

I’ve got Harold Kylhurst as my best guess but can’t really see the O in the first name

Just tried Francis and variations of surname - nothing

But yes on closer inspection that first name could be Francis.

Surname must end in T because it’s crossed.

Kylburn(t)?

I’m also thinking it could be an R not a K? So Harold/Francis Rylhurst?

I think the surname ends in a 'y' judging by the way that letter is written on the line above; "yours affectionately"

It's the old German text. It will be a tz ending. Let me link you to some olf fonts. It can be so very tricky. Do you know what year the letter was written? This narrows it down to font style of the period. I know the letter is in English, but its author is probably German, hence my suggestion about looking into old German fonts.

None of those surnames come up at all - very few indeed starting Ky.

Thevanguardsix - it’s 1924

Somelikeittepid - I do see what you mean about the y

Harris Kylhurtz?

So you want to look at 'kurrent' and 'sutterlin' (with an umlaut- two dots- over the u) text.
I will try to help you. Sutterlin is just
Though the letter is not in the Sutterlin text, it is useful to look at this anyway- you may come across later documents with this script.

There are two crossed Ts in the surname - one in the middle and one near the end.

That's definitely tz at the end.

Can you compare the y from affectionately with the second letter of the surname, to see if it's the same?

Looks like Hans Kegelmutz to me
