G.H. Huller

Greetings...I have a alto clarinet I purchased years ago. On the bell front in written G.H. Huller - below that, some German markings...and lower, a flying eagle carring what looks like a swastika with the date, 1939 beside it.
Then, below, in tiny digits, 3882't. Is anyone familiar with this? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I have found something in the book Die Klarinetten by Oskar Kroll.
The firm H�ller was one of the many firms in the Vogtland area in formally East Germany (Sachsen), in this case Sch�neck.
They build their clarinets in many models, most hand made and of a very good quality in german system and/or german boehm system.
Interesting is that the firm H�ller was famous for their contrabass clarintes, which where used since 1939 in the "deutschen Luftwaffekapellen".
I'm very interested in the keywork and the quality of yoyr instrument.The number is probable the serienumber.
