    All I know is it's probably WWII Japanese military.

    & I'm no expert...either...but the military ones that were used seem to have more tubing, chains holding a fancier mouthpiece, and a lot have wing nuts .....

    Yours is just not lining up with what I'm finding as authentic.

    Looks all good to me!
    But not sure it is a bugle, seem longer then the bugles I know.
    First of all it would be good to know what the inscription says,that would tell us more.
    Here is part of my collection;
