[Note: although the Ulster Museum instrument has the date '1778' stamped on it, this appears to have been added later: it is in small capitals, quite unlike the flowing scripts of the engraved name on the bell and compares with a similarly dated bugle by J.B. Logier who was not in Dublin before 1809.]
