AMAN Official Bugle WW II - Plastic

USA
United States

Plastic
ca. 1940's

Length: 18 inches

This rare O.D. Green Plastic 18" Bugle with original mouthpiece, slide and mountings was made for the Military during WW II to conserve brass for the war effort. During the brass shortages of World War II, the army contracted for a number of these heavy duty plastic bugles. Few have survived to the present day. It is marked on the bell "AMAN Official Bugle Made in USA". These are much rarer than the typical brass military bugles.
