Description: Another very nice & complete& untouched example of aWorld War TwoGerman Army (Wehrmacht & Elite Forces)Brass Signalhornas carried by the Company Buglerand members of the Wehrmacht's Musikkorp Spielleute(Fife & Drum Korps). Constructed in brass with a nickel-silver garlandand measuring some 11" in length.it retains its original mouthpiece & security chain(usually the first thing to go west!). Manufactured by the famous brass instrument makerMeinel & Herold of Klingenthal(in Saxony in Eastern Germany near the Czech Border),during the years of Third Reich, Klingenthal was another fine centreof the military musical-instrument productionin the heartland of Eastern Germany'sVogtland & Klingenthal regions. Meinel & Herold, along with many other such small cottage industries located in this beautiful region,had contracts to supply Germany's Armed Forces with bugles, trumpets & other brass musical instruments,dating back to before The Great War. With the advent of the Third Reich in 1933,new contracts were signed from 1935 to supply the newHeer, Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine & Waffen-SSwith instruments to the myriad military Musikkorps andfor Signahorns to German Company Buglers. With the fall of Germany in 1945,Meinel & Herold ceased production,but in the post-war years the remnants of the companywas revived and incorporated into a new instrument manufacturer in the new DDR:'Klingenthaler Harmonikawerke' Ref: 'The Military Music & Bandsmen of AH's Third Reich 1933-45'by Brian Matthews and published by Tomahawk Films... In a great, used condition with some obvious dents resulting from itshonourable & important service life between 1935 & 1945,this is another cracking, surviving example of a Wehrmacht company bugle!
