This is engraved on the bell of a Bb valve rotary tuba;
Schiller Frankfurt Germany
Is it a stencil made in Germany or a Chinese made tuba?
It looks like a Miraphone 186.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Schiller Frankfurt is a Chinese fantasy name. It triggers some imagination of German heritage, but the great poet Friedrich Schiller has no connections to Frankfurt, it was J.W. Goethe who was born there
