Here is a wonderful estate find. A military bugle thatI believe could have beenmade in France for the French military. The bell of the bugleis stamped, with a small music lyre, and the words, Jerome Thibouville-Lamy & Co. Manufactures, Paris, New York, L.Duchatellier, March 4th, 1902. I have not tried to clean the bugle. It is in as found condition. It has small dents and dingson theinstrument, as you would expect of a bugle this age. There are no large dents or cracks. I’m guessing this is also the original mouthpiece. Nothing is stamped on the mouthpiece.

Being an old trumpet player I had to try it. It is definently playable. From bell to mouthpiece the bugle measures 16 1/2 inches.

Much of man’s history is marked by the classic wars and battles that have been fought throughout the ages. Not only is collecting antique military rings a hobby that can open your eyes to many historical events it can also help you get in touch with the personal side of what goes into a real battle and a real war. The people that fought so bravely to defend their country sometimes leave behind a legacy that we can discover all over again in the military rings they leave behind and the stories that those military rings can tell all on their own.

Even the most battle tested soldier wants to take something away from their time in the military that they can display on a regular basis. A military ring is something that many military personnel get made to commemorate their time in the military. Some decorate their rings with the battles they have fought and the events that they feel shaped their time in the military. Military rings have been around as long as there has been a military. In ancient time conquering soldiers would wear the jewelry of those that they conquered as their badge of honor.
