Product Overview
The M1879 Trumpet for Mounted Troops is a historically inspired brass signal trumpet based on the instruments used by mounted military units during the late 19th century. Designed for cavalry and mounted troops, this style of trumpet was commonly used to relay commands, signals, and battlefield communications across large distances before the widespread use of electronic communication.
This reproduction is crafted from solid brass and features a detachable "C" crook, allowing the instrument to replicate the configuration of original military signal trumpets. When assembled with the crook installed, the trumpet measures approximately 19 inches in length. It also includes a matching mouthpiece, making it a complete historical display piece suitable for military collections, reenactments, museums, and educational exhibits.
