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 He has withdrawn the $800 pre-tax allowance on imports and has also cancelled the exemption for antiques.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 1913 Pattern Bayonet. Remington April 1917. WW2 Home Guard Issue. #2410008
This British Pattern 1913 Mk 1 sword bayonet for the Pattern 1914 rifle is in very good condition. The P1913 bayonet was officially introduced into British service on the 21st June 1916 and was made under contract in the USA by Remington and Winchester.
By the end of WW1, Remington had produced 1,243,000 of the P1913 bayonets.
The 433mm blade has a deep single fuller on both sides and a rounded spine. The blade is in very good condition, retaining its original matt finish and its factory sharpened edge with no additional attempts at sharpening.
The blued ricasso is stamped with the pattern date of 1913, the production date of ‘4 ’17 (April, 1917) and the Remington maker’s mark. The obverse ricasso bears two inspection stamps, bend test X and the War Department arrow.
The cross guard and pommel retain their original blueing and the wooden grip scales are in very good condition with a great patina. The press-stud locking mechanism works perfectly.
The bayonet is complete with its original American Mk II leather scabbard with integral belt hanger. The scabbard is fitted with a brown British 1939 pattern leather frog, suggesting that the bayonet was re-issued for Home Guard use during WW2. The scabbard and frog are in good condition with age-related scuffs and marks. The bayonet sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.
This Remington P1917 bayonet is a great example of the pattern.
