A unique, fully authentic Alpine shepherd's bell of the TREICHEL type – the largest and most important bell in the herd, used to drive cattle in the mountains. A specimen with a beautiful, deep, and sonorous tone, preserved in excellent, historical patina.
A 100% original handcrafted product from the 19th century.

I send shipments via reputable courier companies, with a tracking option, and I also purchase insurance for the shipment.

I will send the package very quickly, usually the next day after receiving the address details, and I promptly inform the buyer about it.
Owned items come from my private collection.
