Brig Posted December 18, 2010 Share #1 Posted December 18, 2010 this popped up on eBay. know nothing about instruments, but it's old, and rusty, and marked US Regulation and figured I'd snatch it up for the price. Any input? apparently came from a trunk with a lot of SpanAm items in it...missing the mouth piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted December 18, 2010 Share #2 Posted December 18, 2010 this popped up on eBay. know nothing about instruments, but it's old, and rusty, and marked US Regulation and figured I'd snatch it up for the price. Any input? apparently came from a trunk with a lot of SpanAm items in it...missing the mouth piece My reading has told me that no US issue bugles were marked US Regulation. I read that a long time ago and have no reference to present to you. I just avoid them because of that. I have two WW2 bugles; one is a green painted BUGLECRAFT Inc. and the other is J. LaRosa and Co. Both are made in L.I. City New York. I have one WW1 bugle made by J.W. York and Sons. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted December 18, 2010 Share #3 Posted December 18, 2010 .Researching..... Confusing research on the Internet. I may be in error saying that US issue bugles were not marked US Regulation. The "US Regulation" notation means that they are made to conform with the US 1892 pattern. I can't find if the original m1892 bugles were marked that way or not. Anyway, a nice relic you bought and it will look good hanging on the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason G Posted December 18, 2010 Share #4 Posted December 18, 2010 Cool piece! My only question...where does the mouthpiece go? I can't see it on the pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VMI88 Posted December 18, 2010 Share #6 Posted December 18, 2010 As Keith suspected, the "US Regulation" marking just means it's the same pattern as used by the military. Actual GI bugles have contract nomenclature stamped into them. The one I have is also marked "Q.M.C." but I can't say whether all are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is brass, and complete with mouth piece and chain. Just above the bell is stamped "U. S. REGULATION/MADE IN U.S.A." Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too Much WW1 Militaria Posted December 31, 2010 Share #12 Posted December 31, 2010 Brig, There are two schools of thought on WW1 bugles. You do have the same type bugle there that would of been used in WW1. There is (unless it came in a group) no way of knowing if it was used in WW1, at least in the military. The Boy Scouts used the same bugle. Personally, I don't have a problem with it as a repersentitive piece. And, $15 is a lot better than $150!

jgawne Posted January 5, 2011 Share #14 Posted January 5, 2011 My grandfather was a bugler in WW1. Oh the stories he told. He had to get up first so he could blow revelle, and if he missed it the troops slept in and he got in trouble. He leanred to sleep with the bugle as it owuld be stolen at night when possible. Or they'd take the mouthpiece, or stuff it with something. You also can't blow right on a cold mouthpiece so he had to litterally keep it on his body at night. He played taps for the American Legion for years on one of those regulation bugules, however what he had in the war was the short one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
