Description
This is a vintage or antique military bugle that belonged to the British Army's Royal Welsh Fusiliers regiment. It is made of copper and brass and features the regimental badge.
Regimental Insignia Details
  • Badge: The applied badge is in the shape of a "flaming grenade," which is the standard insignia for a fusilier regiment.
  • Regiment Number: The large number "23" is cut out in the center of the badge, representing the 23rd Regiment of Foot.
  • Name: The text around the number reads "ROYAL WELSH FUSILIERS".
  • Dating the Bugle: The use of the spelling "Welsh" (instead of the archaic "Welch" which was restored in 1920) indicates that the bugle was likely issued before 1920, potentially from the World War I era (c. 1914-1918) or as early as 1874-1881.
These bugles were used to sound signals and commands on the battlefield, as they are simple brass instruments without valves. Today, they are popular collector's items and display pieces.
