Bugle
This is a German style, double-coiled bugle made entirely of silver-plated brass. It has a silver-plated mouthpiece and two large rings for cord on the bell rim and mouthpiece receiver. The attached cord with the Royal tri-colour standard could mean that this instrument might have been captured and then kept being used.
