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 He has withdrawn the $800 pre-tax allowance on imports and has also cancelled the exemption for antiques.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 2nd Pattern FS Commando Knife. WW2. Wilkinson B2. #2609006
This second pattern Fairbairn-Sykes commando knife was made by the Wilkinson Sword Company, London, during World War Two.
The 173mm double-edged blade has a raised medial ridge and tapers to a narrow spear point. The blade is 21mm wide at its base, which shows the typical triangular grind marks. There is some minor wear to the original black finish. The blade remains in excellent condition.
The knurled grip is in good condition with use related wear to the original black finish. The grip is 21mm in diameter at its widest and is 120mm long. The crosspiece is 3.3mm thick and is stamped with the War Department arrow and the designation “B2,” indicating that it was made by the Wilkinson Sword Company.
The knife is complete with its original brown leather scabbard. The stitching is intact and tight and the leather, while worn, remains strong. The elasticated retaining band has perished and snapped. The knife sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.
This is an excellent example of a WW2, Wilkinson Sword Company second pattern Fairbairn-Sykes commando knife.
