Antique French Military Bugle, French Horn. Early 1900's.

A truely remarkable antique bugle
French, circa late 1800's / early 1900's.
Engraved inscription to the front, as shown.
Brass, totally complete and functional.
It has been bumped around a bit which has formed the most alluring aesthetic to this masterful piece.
It's an absolute eye catcher.
I walked through the small French village from whence I sourced it and got a lot of comments, thumbs ups and second glances!
I always love that something so simple can look so fabulous.
Approx. max. dims: H: 490mm, W: 145mm\
In excellent antique condition. No signs of damage or repair. Totally complete; it sounds fabulous. Bumps to the bugle as you can see but this creates the real beauty of this unique piece.
Sourced personally from the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region of France.
This is an original antique and may well show signs of use and wear commensurate with age.
Please do study the photos and video as these form part of the description.
