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 He has withdrawn the $800 pre-tax allowance on imports and has also cancelled the exemption for antiques.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.
German S98/05 Bayonet. Fichtel & Sachs 1917. #2401022
This WW1 S98/05 butchers’ blade bayonet was made in 1917 by the firm of Fichtel & Sachs of Schweinfurt, Bavaria.
The 364mm single-edged blade has a broad single fuller on both sides, below a flat spine with false upper edge. The blade flares before tapering to a spear point and is free of rust and tarnish, with dings to the spine and mild scratches along the blade.
The ricasso is stamped with the maker mark, “Fichtel & Sachs,” over “Schweinfurt.” The blade spine is stamped with a crowned acceptance mark and manufacture date of 1917 above a second crowned acceptance stamp. The same crowned factory acceptance/inspection marks are found on all metal parts of the hilt.
The wooden grip scales are in good condition and held are firmly in place with the original screws. The steel crosspiece is stamped at the front. The flash guard and pommel are bright and rust free with minimal spots of tarnish. The press stud mechanism works perfectly.
The bayonet is complete with a blued steel scabbard. The scabbard is in good condition but is missing its frog stud. The bayonet sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.
This is a good example of the iconic German Great War bayonet that shows signs of service use.
