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 He has withdrawn the $800 pre-tax allowance on imports and has also cancelled the exemption for antiques.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 1907 Pattern Bayonet. Vickers 1918. #2206008
Rare British WW1 Pattern 1907 bayonet made in 1918 by Vickers ltd. Vickers only produced 10,000 1907 pattern bayonets.
The 432mm single-edged blade has a long narrow fuller and rounded spine. The edge was factory sharpened. The blade is in good condition with some tiny nicks along the edge. The ricasso is marked with a George V crowned royal cypher over the pattern date 1907 and the date of manufacture 9 ’18 beside which is stamped the Vickers logo above the Vickers name. The stamps on the ricasso are faint.
The obverse ricasso bears a bend test stamp, War Department arrow and three Enfield inspection and acceptance stamps.
The crosspiece, muzzle ring and pommel are in good condition. The press-stud catch is in perfect working order and the pommel is stamped with the issue number 3238. The pommel has the overly large clearing hole unique to Vickers-made 1907 bayonets. The grip scales are in good condition with a great patina.
The bayonet is complete with its scabbard with a teardrop frog stud. The scabbard is in good condition. The stitching is intact and strong and the bayonet sheathes smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.
This is a rare, Vickers made P1907 bayonet with wear commensurate with issued service and age.
