Quite right - it is the "L" in Luna, written in longhand script. In the book I mentioned earlier, there are three other photos, shot at the same time (between takes), and in two of them the full neon sign in the window is clearly visible and legible. Unfortunately, those three photos have not been posted on the Net, and - believe me - I looked and looked. The only photo I found of Clemenza by the Luna Restaurant was the one I posted, where the front window is not fully visible.

What I will try and do is scan the photos from the book (The Annotated Godfather) and post them here. I'm not familiar with my fiancées scanner, so I probably will have to ask for assistance from her or her daughter but I will try and get them posted here reasonably soon.
