So I'm painting these Perry Prussian Fusilier Command figures: link And I find myself stumped by the figure on the left, they bugler. The instrument he is using seems to have some sort of 3-piece strap spanning the central loop of the bugle. Does anyone know what this is, and more importantly, what color it is? In the picture on the Perry site, I can't make out much more than "dark." Can someone throw me a rope on this? |

It's called a Prussian bugle or a Hanoverian Bugle horn. It's a C shaped instrument with leather straps in a T. You can see a picture of one here
