I have a Bosch Horn I think it might be for a Barndoor. When I searched the net I couldn't find and kind of identification website or anything with the same or similar numbers on it.

It looks like the numbers and letters are HO/FDF 6/4? It looks like the number after the 4 is a 7.

Any idea what the HO or FDF mean?

I did test it and the horn does work.

I am going to list it in the classifieds. This is not a for sale ad, I am asking for help identifying it.

HO means Horn.
I think that is a capital 'J' after the 4.
you should inspect the horn housing for a stamped 1 or 2 digits/1 letter code which will tell the year and month manufactured. fe 7L would be July 1955.
still could be the correct type of horn for a BD, but later production stamp would date it for Wolfsburg built post BD bus use.

The date code is burned in on the connector block.

The 6/4 indicates a 6 volt, high tone horn; 6/3 is low tone.
