Standard B flat military bugle of soldered construction, with brass body and tubes and brass bell with nickle plated reinforcing band. There are a pair of suspension loops and plates soldered to the bell and mouthpiece sleeve. Features nickle-plated brass joining section and rear sleeve. The unmarked mouthpiece is silver, and appears to be a replacement. The lower section of the nickle-plated bell is hand engraved 'C.W. Moritz Berlin', and is accompanied by a zig-zag pattern border, which extends around the bell. Soldered to the upper bell is an impressed brass plate featuring the Imperial German eagle. The body of the bugle bears evidence of having been bound in cord at one point - there is a pattern of regular striations around both upper and lower tubes. The original notes make mention of a leather strap which is present.
