Couple of updates on this interesting horn. Compact 3+1, 16 1/2 inch bell, non-comp, horizontal tuning slide. I think they built most of these in high pitch ("Kneller Hall pitch of Bb = 479.3 Hz"). SN puts it around 1909-10.

This might be the same one from CL that I shared over the summer. I like the shape of the bugle. Info on Higham is here, here, and here.
