Pre WW2 Military Bugle By Henry Potter

A top quality bugle by Henry Potter of London, presented in excellent untouched condition and proper working order. This type of bugle is seldom seen as they were a little more expensive to manufacture, differing from the regular issue bugles through the feature of having ribbing that guarded the tubes from accidental knocks, suggesting that the bugle was ordered by a premier regiment in 1930.

Fully engraved and dated on the bell, this copper and brass bugle shows only light signs of service wear and minimal dings, with the metalwork having taken on a rich, dark patina. The original mouthpiece also bears Potter's name, in addition to a broad arrow mark.

Having been recently played by a competent musician, this bugle is a lovely example to both collect and use.
