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 He has withdrawn the $800 pre-tax allowance on imports and has also cancelled the exemption for antiques.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 18th Century Land Pattern Socket Bayonet. #2306007
The “Land Pattern” bayonet came in a wide variety of socket lengths and blade profiles, the bayonets being made by a variety of makers both in England and in India. These bayonets were made for use with several different muskets including carbines. The British Board of Ordnance, the East India Company (EIC) and the various Indian states all made use of these bayonets at the end of the 18th and early 19th Centuries.
This bayonet has a total length of 430mm (17 inches) comprising a 100mm long socket with an internal muzzle ring diameter of 24.5mm at the back and 23.3mm at the front. The triangular blade measures 320mm (12.5 inches). The MRD and socket length is pretty much the same as those for use with the Brown Bess musket but the shortness of the blade suggests that the bayonet was used with a carbine of a similar calibre. It is possible that the blade was shortened and re-profiled but I don't think so.
The bayonet is in good condition with some shallow pitting. The face of the blade is stamped with a maker’s mark.
This is an interesting example of a late 18th Century carbine socket bayonet.
