USQMC Bugle

[mb399579]

Hello

 

I've found this trumpet in a flea market, it was made in France by Couesnon, with an interesting marking "USQMC".

Could you please confirm that this trumpet was made or bought for/by the US Army ?

Is it dating from WW1 or WW2 ?

Thanks for your help.

Not sure of date - would guess earlier then WW1 - but it's a Bugle - not a trumpet!

Hello,

Thanks for your response.

I've found on the net that the US Quartermaster Corp has been existing from 1912 to 1962 ?

 

PS : How can I change the title (trumpet => bugle ?)

Title changed at your request! Hopefully someone will ID for you.

1962! No, they are still around today.

John, do you think that cord may have been for Field Artillery, seeing some Red remnant threading there.
