Vintage Chrome Plated Single Valve Bugle Military Model DEG Products Lake Geneva

Description

Vintage Chrome Plated Single Valve Bugle Military Model DEG Products Lake Geneva Wisconsin. It has a number on the side 481 which might be a serial number as this company did not make many of these bugles. The mouthpiece is marked Vincent Bach Corp 7C. Has some age appropriate wear, valve plunger moves nicely - please see my 12 detailed photos. I would recommend having it cleaned and oiled but plenty to work with.
The DEG Products company is now defunct, this is some old information I found:
DEG – Perfectly in step with marching bands since 1965
Founded in 1965 in Lake Geneva, WI, by Don E. Getzen. DEG Music Products continues to be the top-selling brand for marching band lyres and flip-folios. Our Flutist’s Friend is the world’s number one selling wrist lyre for flute and piccolo players.
