Please could someone help me with a unit designation, name as given the rest?

Thanks Kyle

Even if I do not understand the rest I think it should be "Frontart."

It would be helpful to have a picture of the text. It seems to be a bit misread.

Hello:

"54 J.D" is undoubtedly the 54. Infanterie-Division (54th Infantry Division).

Best regards,

[Kyle Harrington]

Please forgive my deutsch but in other words, the engraved EK you are looking at was a private purchase, IMHO, as a present from Merck to his fellow comrade Bronsart remembering their service time. And the date you do not mention, 15.7.16, I believe has to do with the western front battles.

Did you win the auction?

Cheers,
