DuckyDougie Posted 14 January Share Posted 14 January Can anyone give me any information on this Bugle please ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilB Posted 14 January Share Posted 14 January Privately engraved, looks to have a badge crudely attached. Nothing to indicate its authenticity as an Aussie WW1 relic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckyDougie Posted 14 January Author Share Posted 14 January Yes you’re right it has a Rising Sun underneath the engraving which seems very old and original .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TullochArd Posted 14 January Share Posted 14 January Odd it seems, The "Battle Honours" referred to are surely broad Campaigns/Theatres. Battle Honours are more specific eg Gallipoli such as "Second Battle of Krithia", Middle East such as "3rd Battle of Gaza", Western Front such as "Polygon". That's the kind of finer detail that the military tend to get right on their kit. Based on the photos I'd be tempted to file it in the drawer marked "1970's Trench Art" However, there is a question mark there DuckieDougie ......... but I don't think you'll be able to retire on this one.

DuckyDougie Posted 14 January Author Share Posted 14 January No already retired by twenty years but I feel it is older than me and I will give it a nice place on the wall accordingly . Thanks for your input and thoughts . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilB Posted 14 January Share Posted 14 January Have they spelt front as FRUNT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave66 Posted 14 January Share Posted 14 January Saw a chap a few years ago buying all the decent bugles he could find at the local flea, he virtually admitted that they would be badged and aged and then passed off as military😤😤😤. Nice wall hanger, but I agree with Phil. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know where you are coming from Dave66. I was in Baghdad a decade ago* and an ancient home based metal worker there was churning out 1916 Stahlhelms as his sole income .... which wasn't much at all. Must admit they looked very convincing though. * cue that most recently revitalised Great War reposte of the Mespotamian Campaign "...... I was in that Bag dad when you were still in yer dad's bag son" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave66 Posted 14 January Share Posted 14 January Just for a comparison, and an example of what to look for, I have one dated 1890, but later presented to the 3rd West Yorkshire Volunteers, Royal Engineers….bottom row of engraving un readable. Polished within an inch of its life, and dented to hell, but an issued piece and not a badge in sight., Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
