A strange unit marking

[souvigny]

HI,

I just got this german bugle with a strange unit marling: H.K.A.9 It has been manufactured in Berlin-Charlottenburg. Any idea?

Thanks for your help!

Hoi Laurent,
I can not find anything, even Jeff Noll's book has nothing like this. Is the other marking on the bell the manufacturer's name and address?
Best
Gus

Perhaps the property of the Haupt-Kadettenanstalt in Berlin. This was a 10 company strong establishment.

That idea actually make some sense! But they were in Lichterfeld.
