It appears to have belonged to "Consten Kressa", born in 1902 in "W/N [??] Ukania" [?? western Ukraine? the document is issued in French but filled in Spanish] in "Dyniska" (the village of such name exists in Poland, in 1902 in imperial Russia and in 1938 in Poland). His nationality is stated as Polish (though the surname bears little resemblance to any Polish/Ukrainian/Jewish name; the first name might be a shortened and anglicized version of "Konstanty").
