WWI Antique Royal Welsh Fusiliers Bugle – Copper & Brass “23” Regimental Horn, 12″

Straight from the Great War era, this World War I copper-and-brass bugle carries the flaming-grenade badge and “23” roundel of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers. Issued to the regiment c. 1914-1918, the horn mixes a warm copper body with brass fittings, crest, and detachable mouthpiece chained to its original keeper ring. Hand-soldered seams and battlefield dings tell the story of campaigns in France and Flanders, while an untouched patina lends museum-worthy authenticity.
