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 He has withdrawn the $800 pre-tax allowance on imports and has also cancelled the exemption for antiques.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.
This attractive and scarce sword is the model 1831 that was issued to Danish army NCOs.
The 785mm single-edged blade has a flat spine above a broad, shallow fuller. The blade is double-edged for the first 170mm and terminates in a spear point. The blade is in excellent condition and has a service sharpened edge with a couple of tiny nicks.
The ornate brass guard and ribbed grip are in great condition. The guard consists of a scrolled front bar with two side bars above, branching onto the stirrup knuckle-guard. The rear of the acorn quillon is stamped with an inspector’s initials, “BGC” inside an oval. The blade is firm in the hilt.
The sword is complete with its original black leather scabbard with brass locket and chape. The leather is in generally good condition and the stitching is intact. There is wear and some small losses to the original finish. The sword sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.
This is a great example of a scarce Danish Model 1831 non-commissioned officer’s sword.
