Research and responses: Actually I don't think that the following is necessarily true, I think there might be 2 trumpets, both associated with William Roberts, the other is 1887.29.4 [AP 20/06/2006]
It appears that this object may be the same as one of the 3 trumpets [see 1887.29.3 - 5] given by Tuckett. This is indicated by the added pencil note in the accession book entry which refers to book I, page 22. Also the original computer entry had F.F. Tuckett as the PRM source and G.H. Fox as the Field Collector, as well as an acquired date of October 18, although there is no mention of these individuals in the documentation sources for 1938.34.67. [CF 4/12/2000]
