Good Morning Everyone.....

Got a call from the person that I purchased the badges and drums from last week as I had left him my card.....

He found one more item that I might be interested in so I just came back with the treasure.....

Sorry no it's not the mans medals......

Not in great condition but then again for the cost of the gas and a dollar who can refuse.....

A Bugle:

Maker: Boosley and Co., London England

Dated: 1901

Has the Broad Arrow Markings and the number 59 also 50 High and the number 4 under that......
