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 He has withdrawn the $800 pre-tax allowance on imports and has also cancelled the exemption for antiques.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 WW1 nahkampfmesser, meaning “close combat knife,” come in a variety of similar styles and by various makers. Most have a steel scabbard with a leather belt loop and retaining strap. These knives were usually private purchase items – as was the case with the allied forces, and many are without maker’s marks.
The 137mm single-edged blade has a 70mm upper false edge that is sharpened for the last 40mm. The blade has a raised medial ridge and terminates in a spear point. The blade retains its fighting edge and is in used/worn condition with some cleaned, shallow pitting and sharpening wear. This knife has had an active life.
The hardwood grip scales are in good condition and are secured to the full width tang by three rivets.
The knife is complete with a WW2 Hitler Youth or Scout scabbard, which may just be a convenient replacement, but may also indicate that the knife saw service again during WW2, a hand-down from father to son perhaps? The scabbard is in good condition and retains most of its original black paint.
This is a worn and honest German WW1 fighting knife.
