Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a genuine Japanese Military Bugle from the WWII period. You can identify it as such by the Bakelite mouth piece and the large clamp that secures the mouthpiece complete with wing nut. Bugle is in overall good condition and playable but does have some dings and dents, but is fully functional.
All brass construction with a two piece brazed bell with a bell garland. Screw-in mouthpiece appears to be solid nickel silver, as opposed to brass with a bakelite cup as often seen, and has Japanese markings. Tuning slide/lead pipe is still movable and wing-nut fully functional. The chain securing the mouthpiece to the bugle is unfortunately missing, but easily replaced. A very rare piece from the Empire of the Rising Sun.
The branch of the military would normally be identified by a sash with tassels attached to the bugle by the two large inner rings, red for Army as an example. Further identifying this as a WWII period piece, as opposed to modern day, is the lack of a valve on the front edge.
Approximate dimensions are 12" x 5" x 4.5"
