This German Military bugle is of all brass construction with brass fittings, typical of German brass instruments. Showing use, it bears substantial dents with some scrapes but is absolutely authentic. It comes complete with its original mouth piece and two suspension rings and with a pleasant tarnished finish overall. It even still has the original leather sling for carrying the bugle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brass mouthpiece is unfortunately seized in the receiver, and the mouthpiece securing chain is missing. However, the bugle still plays quite nicely, and is tuned to the key of C, the usual key for German bugles of this age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Prussian Coat of Arms in an Oval shield displays a Spread Eagle wearing a Crown with \u003cstrong\u003eF.R. \u003c\/strong\u003e(Friedrich Rex) to center, for King Friedrich I of Prussia.
