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 He has withdrawn the $800 pre-tax allowance on imports and has also cancelled the exemption for antiques.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.
The British No.9 Mk1 socket bayonet was the result of a post-war desire to replace the unpopular No.4 spike bayonet. Production commenced in 1947.
From 1947 to 1949, around 200,000 No.9 Mk I bayonets were produced at the Royal Ordinance Factory at Poole in Dorset. In 1949, production of the No.9 bayonet moved to the Enfield Small Arms factory. Enfield produced the No.9 bayonet until 1956, with a final batch of 10,000 being made at Enfield in 1962.
This bayonet was made at Enfield in 1951. The 202mm Bowie style blade has a rounded spine and terminates in a sharpened clip point. The blade has a deep single fuller and a factory sharpened edge. The blade retains its original finish and is stamped on the forte with the War Department arrow.
The socket bears the pattern designation, N0.9 Mk1 and the Enfield maker’s mark, a D containing an over layered E and F. The year of manufacture, “-51,” is stamped beside the maker’s mark on the socket block. To the left of the pattern designation is a long arrow with 27 on one side and K on the other. Presumably this is an inspection stamp. The War Department arrow is stamped above this. The front of the block above the blade bears an Enfield inspector’s mark and the thumb press bears an arrow.
This is a well-marked, great condition example of the British No.9 bayonet.
