CIVIL WAR BUGLE, MAKER-MARKED AND INSCRIBED & IDENTIFIED. - Lot #2009

This is a Civil War Era bugle that is original and authentic in all respects. It is inscribed as being a member of the 11th Pennsylvania Infantry or at least the property thereof. It has a beautiful inscription as such and is also adorned with the makers label of C.H. Norton of Philadelphia. This is probably the most well-known maker of Civil War Bugles. This bugle would have been a premium quality instrument in its day, being fashioned of German Silver and most likely presented to a Regimental Bugler at the beginning of the war. It shows all evidence of having been carried throughout the conflict as it shows worldly use. There are a few areas on the bugle that show dents and breaks from carry and use. These have been filled by dripping or swathing molten lead into any breaks to keep the instrument in working order. They are definitely field repairs and when you look at this piece, it speaks louder than most any Civil War Drum, Sword or Firearm that I have ever come across. This is an absolutely wonderful artifact and I have seen a few fancy presentation bugles that were "after-the-fact" presentations of post-war or post-battle type sell for well over $10,000.00. If this item interests you, give me a call. You'll likely never see another in your lifetime.
