It stands for the 6th batterie of Artillerie-Regiment Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, part of Infanterie-Division Friedrich Ludwig Jahn which was activated in April 1945 from the staff of 251st Infanterie-Division and 7.500 men from the Reichsarbeitsdienst (RAD). It was captured by the US forces at the end of the war but handed over to the Russians. A rare unit Ekm so would be nice to see more pictures.
However I'm not sure it is original because the "4" at the end of the inscription makes no sense. The unit had 3 infantry/fusilier regiments as well as the Artillerie regiment but it was known as Artillerie-Regiment Friedrich Ludwig Jahn and there was no number 4.
So sadly on balance I think this is a copy.

Hello Gentleman

I ask for more pictures
cordially

I think this brand is not good. My brands of this unit look different.
It raises also no good light on the seller if he shows only a bad image.
You'd rather leave that.
The only correct thing about this example is probably the material. I would expect originals to be in zinc for this 1945 unit.
