Bugle Mouthpiece
SOLD
This excavated bugle mouthpiece is in very good condition and has a very pleasing dusty brown-green patina. It was acquired directly from the digger who recovered it in Charles City County, VA. It measures 2-3/8 inches in length and is 1 inch in diameter at the mouth. Its tube is still filled with soil and its small end is damaged leaving a jagged edge. This difficult to recover relic will be an excellent addition to any excavated Civil War campsite, battlefield, or general relic collection.
