This rolled and stamped insignia device is a sheet-brass artifact that depicts a military insignia worn by soldiers in the infantry branch of the Federal Army during the Civil War. The excavated, crescent-shaped, one-piece specimen measures 3¼" long from its wide 1" high bellhorn to its small (1/4" wide) narrow mouthpiece. Bugle insignia device has a protruding arched body with an integrated center loop. Face of the bellhorn and the mouthpiece each exhibit lightly ornate designs as does the bugle's center loop. Never cleaned, the face, as well as the backside of the bugle has acquired a dark brown patina. Backside of the brass insignia retains only one of the two, original, small brass wire loops soldered to the body. An original, hard-to-find Union Army uniform artifact from an undisclosed Virginia battlefield and an honest Civil War relic.
