As you know, President Trump has decided that all USA citizens must pay import taxes on any items bought from overseas. He has withdrawn the $800 pre-tax allowance on imports and has also cancelled the exemption for antiques.
The amount of import tax payable is dependent on the country of manufacture of the item, NOT where it was bought/imported from.
For example,
The tariff on UK made items is 10% of the total amount, including the shipping fee.
On items manufactured in mainland Europe, the tariff is 15%.
Some countries incur a much higher percentage.
President Trump has insisted that these fees be paid BEFORE the item is imported, or the parcel will be refused entry into the US.
This basically means that Bygone Blades has to collect the US import tax from you and submit it to the carrier, who in turn pay the US customs.
After you have made your purchase, you will receive a separate invoice for the new import tax specific to the item purchased. This will need to be paid before your purchase is shipped.
19th Century Zulu Iwisa. Anglo-Zulu War Knobkerrie. #2511010
This fantastic, large 19th Century Zulu iwisa was probably a battlefield souvenir from the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879. Iwisa are also often called knobkerrie, the name given to them by 19th Century Dutch settlers.
Zulu Iwisa were traditionally used as a weapon at close quarters, they also served as swagger sticks, ceremonial objects, and even as platforms from which to share the taking of snuff, itself an important and ritualistic part of Zulu society. Iwisa are a strong part of Zulu cultural identity.
This impressive iwisa has a large head, measuring 87mm in diameter and 92mm from top to bottom. The heavy hardwood head has a great colour and patina.
The haft of the club measures 26mm in diameter below the head, flaring to 31mm at the base. The haft is 422mm in length, giving a total length for the iwisa of 514mm.
This iwisa is in excellent condition and will be a cherished part of any Anglo-Zulu War collection.
