For reference, below are some bugles recently offered for sale. These are *unidentified* as to owner and as to whether they even actually saw service in the Civil War. The one you inquire about, if it has good provenance to a certain soldier or unit would be worth considerably more. If attributable to a famous unit, even more. Or if attributable to a Confederate unit or certain Confederate soldier, there would be a multiplication factor of at least five times these prices...maybe as much as ten to the right buyer on the right day.
