Any help identifying this font is much appreciated.

I would like to know this font, also

Does anyone know this font?

My Gif powers are getting better and better every day

I thought it could possibly be an Open Type font with swashes, similar to Piel Script (http://sudtipos.com/fonts/142).

Well, you're definitely right, it could have been alternate letters, but in this case, I also don't think that's a font.
