Any idea what Entd at left stands for? Is it a signature title or what?

Thanks!

My guess would be "Entered" such as in a bank ledger.

That blue squiggle behind is a signature so it could be a title/position.
Ent....d

I would interpret the blue squiggle as indicating no date was entered or to be entered and the date above the blue squiggle is the one to be regarded.

Evidence that entd can be an abbreviation of entered. https://www.allacronyms.com/ENTD

Another example this time from New Zealand. This one looks like a signature to me. The thing is that I am trying to make a chart with the signatures to be added to the catalog and I don't know what to do with those... Maybe an admin will see this and share an opinion.

I based my believe of it being a signature on the linked page (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/note230187.html) but it also could mean "entered by"

The linked note definitely is a signature so probably the notation on the original note is also one. I do think the abbreviation is for "entered by" instead of a signature title.

Hello,

"Ent'd" stands for "Entered (by)". You can see here a note with "Ent'd" followed by "by":

And here is an excerpt from "A Comprehensive Guide of Early Paper Money of India"

Ok so everybody agrees that is not a signature title. Next question is, do i list the signature with the others? And if I do what should the "title" be?

I would list the signature and indicate "Title not specified"

'Title not known or not indicated' could be indicated, Will.
