Original Item: Only One Available. This is the real thing! Hallmarked sterling silver, a very heavy and substantial regimental presentation bugle with engraved presentation from a General to his Regiment made by renowned instrument makers HAWKES & SON, LONDON. The engraving reads-
Truly magnificent, what a pedigree, it just does not get any better!
100% solid hallmarked silver save the silver plated brass mouthpiece, a few services dings but all in all a wonderful regimental trophy, plus it still plays beautifully.
A true piece of world war one history!
It is also a wonderful piece representing the British brass musical instrument industry. Hawkes & Son would merge in 1930 with Boosey & Company, forming Boosey & Hawkes, a company still in existence today.
