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 He has withdrawn the $800 pre-tax allowance on imports and has also cancelled the exemption for antiques.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.
British 1876 Martini-Henry Bayonet. Egyptian Conversion. #2602001
The Martini Henry Pattern 1876 socket bayonet, officially named the “Bayonet Common Long” was nicknamed the "Lunger" by the troops. The blade is triangular with blunt edges and was purely a stabbing weapon.
The 542mm tri-form blade is in excellent condition, retaining its original polish. The base of the blade is stamped with the War Department “WD” stamp, Broad Arrow and Enfield factory inspection stamp above a worn production date. An inverted Broad Arrows stamp indicates that the bayonet was sold out of military service. The additional stamps are Egyptian.
The socket is in excellent condition with its original blueing remaining. The mortise ring on the socket works perfectly. The sight bridge was removed by the Egyptians for issue with their .303 M-H rifle.
The second pattern, brass mounted black leather scabbard is in good condition. The brass locket is marked with an Enfield inspection stamp, WD and arrow. The teardrop frog stud is stamped with a UK issue number. The brass chape is also marked with a WD and arrow. The leather is in good condition and has an additional leather band (repair) applied below the top rivet.
The bayonet sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.
This is a great example of the iconic Anglo-Zulu War Martini Henry “Lunger” bayonet that was sold to the Egyptian military post UK service.
