Great fun watching that scene again. I laughed my ass off the first time I saw it and still hilarious today.

Does anyone know whether the Bugle was made in China or India?

| For those who don't know. This scene is from The Party with Peter Sellers. he plays an Indian actor visiting Hollywood. He drives a Morgan 3 Wheeler. I t is a hilarious movie. If you can find it it is well worth the effort and a welcome comedy respite for these times. I'd guess that the bugle is British. |

After your post, i researched this. You are correct. According to the following link, from Tapsbugler.com, the Bugle is a British Duty Bugle, AKA British Duty m1855 Bugle. The link and additional information follow. Souvenir shops sell the Indian and Pakistani cheaper version / copy known as the Gunga Din Bugle.
https://www.tapsbugler.com/a-reference-guide-to-the-most-common-collectible-bugles/
Length 11 in., Bell diameter 4 in.
This is a double twist bugle in B Flat that has been referred incorrectly to as a M1855, although the British call it a Duty Bugle. These bugles were introduced in England in 1855 or 1858 but the model they are based on can be traced back to 1810. This has been the regulation bugle for all British military services for over 150 years. One thing to say about the British – they certainly maintain tradition. Although the British have also used trumpets in E Flat, the bugle is the standard signaling horn. These instruments can be easily identified when compared to a cheaper made reproduction (see “Gunga Din” Bugle, below). The originals are made of a heavier gauge metal and many have British manufacturing markings such as Distin, Hawkes & Son, Potter & Co, Boosey & Hawkes and Besson.
