Look like two nice original bugles - heres mine

[Jumper]

what is a realistic price to pay for one?

or sell one?

Hi,
I have seen the HJ one selling for $200 and it was in a good shape. The NSKK I have not seen but I think it might be the same. Shure you find more expensive ones, but his is what I have seen.
Take care

I'm pretty sure that unless the piece is really beat up, you won't find one for much less than $450.00-500.00 and I've seen at least one SA example with some nice accoutrements sell for $800.00.
Can you get a sharper shot of the eagle on the HJ bugle? Also the mouthpiece, a shot showing how the ring plates are attached, and the rear curve of the mouthpiece tube.

Interesting bugles...

If you can find either one of those going for less than 750, let me know...i certainly wouldbe interested.

Both of those are nice Bugles. If you find them for less than $1,000. each, I think that's a deal.
The NSKK is rarer IMHO.
I happen to have one now on e-stand.

I agree the NSKK is the rarer of the 2. The example for sale on the e-stand has an American mouthpiece for a trumpet rather than the original German mouthpiece, and the bugle is missing the top suspension ring and collar. This is common on the aluminum bugles, as the collar was riveted on and was more likely to break than the brass or steel instruments with the ring fittings soldered.
