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 He has withdrawn the $800 pre-tax allowance on imports and has also cancelled the exemption for antiques.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 all-steel ersatz bayonet was made in Germany in the early years of WW1. The height of ersatz bayonet manufacturing was 1916, as the Imperial German war machine rushed to equip the huge number of new troops. This pattern of ersatz bayonet has been designated under Carter’s classification as EB5.
The 316mm single-edged blade has a flat spine and terminates in a double-edged spear point. The unfullered blade is in near mint condition and retains its full length. Many ersatz bayonets had their blades shortened, making original length examples harder to find. The spine and ricasso both bear inspection stamps.
The cast steel hilt is in excellent condition. The long muzzle ears and two-piece cross guard are characteristic of the EB5. The press-stud attachment mechanism is in perfect working order. The blade is held firmly within the steel grip.
The bayonet is complete with its original ersatz scabbard which retains much of its original paint. The bayonet sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.
This is a highly desirable Great War ersatz bayonet in excellent condition and guaranteed genuine.
