Authentic-looking World War II-era British military bugle made by Mayers & Harrison of Manchester, England, constructed primarily of copper with brass fittings and mouthpiece. The bell bears the British government Broad Arrow property mark along with the Mayers & Harrison maker stamp and period numeric markings.

With its untouched aged copper surface, brass mouthpiece, original-style chain, and unmistakable military form, this is an excellent piece of British militaria and WWII-era display history.

The copper body retains a dark, warm oxidized finish with areas of tarnish, spotting, scratches, surface wear, and green verdigris around several seams and fittings. Brass components and mouthpiece show age-related tarnishing and discoloration. There are scattered minor dents and impressions to the tubing consistent with military use and age.
The mouthpiece and attached chain are present. Maker and government markings remain visible on the bell.
The bugle has not been professionally cleaned or polished, preserving its original aged character. Playing condition has not been tested, so it is being offered primarily as a historical collectible/display piece.
Please examine all photographs carefully, particularly the close-ups of the maker stamp, Broad Arrow marking, seams, mouthpiece, tubing, and patina.
