Charge of the light brigade bugle

Not often you see something so rare, used to communicate between Cavalry Regiments, long before the radio. This bugle from 1854.
What a brave action that was, and its price today is a true reflection of that bravery!

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

It would be a nice piece to have but then what? I'd be forced to place it in a museum so others could see it so I still wouldn't have it...

What a wonderful object to see and hear. The battle and Tennyson's poem were part of history for many. Not so today.

Suppose the new owner´d have to learn how to play it.

I don't think it was ever for sale as it is in a Regimental Museum, it was brought along for a rough expert value, presumably for insurance purposes, and also to share its existance with the world.
A lot of the British icon

Balaclava stuff is in Russia icon

, so this did well to get home safely. We have enough Bronze cannon left to make 88 Victoria Crosses which is humbling!!!
I think we need to go back and get some more if they don't get out of the Ukraine lol
