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 He has withdrawn the $800 pre-tax allowance on imports and has also cancelled the exemption for antiques.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 1888 Mk II Volunteer Pattern Bayonet. #2508005
British volunteer pattern 1888 Mk II Lee Metford rifle bayonet made commercially, circa 1899.
This desirable bayonet is in excellent condition for its 126 years of age and is highly collectable. The 305mm double-edged blade is without maker details or government ownership stamps – as to be expected on a commercially produced, volunteer pattern bayonet. The blade is in great condition.
The wooden grip is firm and in excellent condition with two brass rivets. The steel crosspiece and pommel are bright and free from rust. The front of the crosspiece is stamped with the letter L, and the spine of the tang bears the numeral 2. The press-stud locking mechanism is in good working order.
The bayonet is complete with its volunteer pattern black leather scabbard with blued steel mounts. The black leather is in good condition, retaining most of its original finish. The stitching is intact and firm. The bayonet sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.
This is a great example of the iconic British Boer War and Boxer Rebellion bayonet made for the commercial or volunteer market.
