Original British WWI Regimental Bugle by Henry Potter & Co. of London - Dated 1917
-
Original Item: Only One Available. The First World War which started just 104 years ago in 1914 was initially a very patriotic war. All sorts of Regiments were raised, expanded and added Volunteer Battalions to help in the "Great Crusade" using the catch phrase:-
IT'LL ALL BE OVER BY CHRISTMAS!!
How wrong they were!
Here is a Regimental Bugle, of perfectly standard brass and copper construction made and marked by the maker on the bell with their name, address, and the date of manufacture:
(Broad Arrow)
HENRY POTTER & Co.
36.38 WEST ST
CHARING + ROAD
London
1917
This Bugle, which is totally authentic, has lain in an attic for probably 75 years, and has the expected dings and dents from field use. The mouthpiece is present but seized in the receiver, and the cord ring has broken off. Still, it does ring clearly when blown. According to the family this was brought back from the trenches during that awful conflict of WWI.
A true "sleeper", this bugle is uncleaned and ready to display.
