Buyer's Premium:

A British military brass duty bugle, featuring a soldered regimental insignia on the bell. The white metal or brass badge consists of a central wildcat motif within a circular band inscribed SUTHERLAND HIGHLANDERS, surmounted by a coronet and enclosed in a wreath, identifying the unit as the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (Princess Louise’s). The body of the instrument is wrapped in a multi-coloured braided cord of red, black, and tan, terminating in two matching tassels. The mouthpiece is present and remains attached to the lead pipe by a short brass chain. This pattern of signal bugle was standard issue for infantry units throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The construction features traditional soldered seams and a flared bell.
