One option to consider is that most B&W and color negative films can actually be processed at home, and in fact there are some enthusiasts (myself included) who develop "found film" as something of a hobby. There is some limited information online about the techniques and I could probably add some tips if you're interested.

But of course home development isn't everyone's cup of tea. So if you don't want to go down that road (either too risky or just too much trouble) there are a couple professional labs which specialize in this. The one I am most familiar with and can recommend is Film Rescue International . They are based in North America but serve Europe as well. I recall that there is at least one company in Europe that does this work too, but I am drawing a blank on the name at the moment. I am sure someone will chime in with that name.

When that sticker was gummed by somebody then you are probably right.

When the sticker is still loose on one end it can also be that the film was transported to the end but maybe not or not entirelly exposed. Could be that somebody transported the film without operating the shutter.

You don't have to rewind 127 film. It goes from one spool to another.

The sticker is allways visible when film is on its end. Only important thing is to see if somebody glued the loose end of the sticker or not.
