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 He has withdrawn the $800 pre-tax allowance on imports and has also cancelled the exemption for antiques.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.
Blued Australian Pattern 1907 bayonet made in 1942 at the Orange Small Arms Factory in New South Wales.
The 431mm, single edged blade has a long narrow fuller and rounded spine. The edge is factory sharpened. The blade is in good condition and retains its original blued finish with some minor wear. There is a small patch of shallow pitting on one side above the ricasso.
The ricasso is marked with the pattern designation, Australian manufacture mark and the manufacture date of 9 ’42 (September 1942).
The obverse ricasso bears a bend test stamp, Australian Defence Department arrow and the OA, Orange manufacture stamp.
The crosspiece, muzzle ring and pommel retain their original blueing with minor wear. The Australian coachwood grip scales are stamped “SLAZ 42.” The scales are held firmly in place by the two original screws and have use-related dings and wear. The push button locking mechanism is in good condition and works well.
The bayonet is complete with its leather scabbard with a round frog stud. The scabbard is in good condition but has lost its original wax coating. The stitching along the seam is intact and strong. The steel locket and chape retain their original blueing with some wear. The bayonet sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.
This is a good WW2 example of an Orange made Australian P1907 bayonet.
