Jock Auld Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Guys, Another one of these bloody bugles, total now 4 with the HJ one! Well made and has age but missing its mouth piece, had a bit of a ding that has dislodged the nickle silver trim at the neck side but it was cheep and chearful. No markings as ever???

Hoss Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Hi Jock Are the Imperial and latter ones different? what a pity the mouthpiece is missing otherwise its in nice condition in the good old days you could probably find missing bits at flea markets. I just sold mine disappointingly I may add, marked 1913 they were and important piece of equipment imo. British vets would tell of the German bugles going off after a bombardment.

Jock Auld Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) Eric, They seem to be pretty well the same, do you have a picture of your date marking and location of it? if not could you indicate on the picture where it is marked please. They don't seem to command much price wise the last two I got cost less than €20. No swastika so not much interest? Cheers Edited December 30, 2014 by Jock Auld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 The Imperial steel jobs seem to sell quite well but they have to be in good complete condition and reg.marks make a big difference of course. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock Auld Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 Eric,Thanks for the detail, it looks like the date has been hand struck? I have yet to see one of these with a manufacture type stamp? Have you?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Jock outside my limited knowledge I'm afraid google google surprisingly not long ago I found for example a site that discusses old German military lanterns. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
