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 He has withdrawn the $800 pre-tax allowance on imports and has also cancelled the exemption for antiques.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 L1A1 SLR Bayonet. RSAF Enfield 1959. #2512007
The L1A1 is a Knife bayonet for use on the 7.62 mm NATO L1A1 Self Loading Rifle (SLR) variant of the Belgium FN–FAL selective-fire rifle. This example was made at the Royal Small Arms Factory (RSAF) at Enfield in 1959.
The 202mm single edged blade has a rounded spine and a clip point. The blade has a long fuller with squared ends. The ricasso is stamped with the Enfield factory mark, a Broad Arrow and the date 59. The L1A1 has a waisted crosspiece. The steel grips are fixed securely by two rivets. The grip scales are both stamped with Broad Arrows. The pommel is stamped with the Enfield factory mark and a Broad Arrow. The release catch for the locking mechanism sits within a recess but protrudes slightly from the pommel, a feature exclusive to the L1A1.
The bayonet is complete with its steel scabbard with round frog stud. The scabbard is in good condition and the bayonet sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.
This is a good example of the scarce British L1A1 SLR bayonet.
