What is this musical symbol?
First I thought it was a weird flat sign, but when I played the score it sounded odd. It looks a bit like a natural sign.

The notes partially look like handwritten. Is this the case? If so, could it be the writer's way to write a quarter rest?

They do look like natural signs, but it is hard to tell out of context. Would natural signs make sense there? Can you post a picture of the whole measure?

if it's a flat sign, I may have been confused by the shape the composer used in the bass line @Peter

Strangely, the first natural sign in the lower desk looks different. But for handwritten, not to mention the resultant harmony, flat sign is almost certainly wrong.

I don't think there are any other feasible options!+1. And Bernard knew a thing or two.
