WWI Issue Military Bugle, complete with the original mouthpiece. The bugle is made completely of brass, and is most likely in Eb, the usual key that bugles of the time were pitched in. The bell shows a brazing seam around the flare spout, which is easier to see on the inside of the bell. It still has the complete maker marking and date: Wm. H. HORSTMANN CO. PHILA. DEPOT.
