Thisbugle had been in a Winnipeg family’s possession for about 100 years. It is in well-worn condition with dents,bends, a stuck mouthpiece and loose bell collar, as shown in pics. No cracks or extra holes. I have not altered or polished it.

Itblows easily with a nice crisp tone and could be used ‘as is’ by a capableplayer.

Thecollar is imprinted with “1 M.R.17”. I suspect the 17 is either adate year or a military unit reference, not sure.

Fromthe information given me by the family member, it is likely that thisinstrument served in WW I and went overseas with the Canadian ExpeditionaryForces.

Itwill be a very fine addition to a collection!

Will ship to the USA or Canada.Item is located in Canada.

Postage quotes shown are close to or below my actual costs.
