It is Army and a rather scarce marking. I believe it is a Bavarian telephone unit. The "B" indicates Bavaria, the script "F" is for Fernsprech (telephone) - or it might ever be for Funken (telegraph). I have never seen a script "C" before so I am at a loss there. The "A" is for Abteilung (detachment). and the 43 is an inventory number.
