Brass Bugle Mouthpiece

SOLD

This excavated cast brass bugle mouthpiece is in very good condition and has a very pleasing dusty rich green patina. It was acquired directly from the digger who recovered it in the area of Malvern Hill, VA. It measures 3 inches in length and is 1 inch in diameter at the mouth. The small end of the tube has a small crescent shaped break but otherwise it is in great shape. 

Examples of similar mouthpieces are found in the following relic reference books:

  • "Civil War Artifacts" by Howard Crouch on page 37, item 3. 
  • "Excavated Artifacts from Battlefields and Campsites of The Civil War" by Stanley S. Phillips on page 185, item 5.
  • "Relics of the Coastal Empire: The Civil War Years" by the CEHHA, page 210.

See scans of above pages in additional images.

This difficult to recover relic will be an excellent addition to any excavated Civil War musical, campsite, battlefield, or general relic collection.
