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 He has withdrawn the $800 pre-tax allowance on imports and has also cancelled the exemption for antiques.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.
Mid-19th Century Zulu Iklwa. Woven Palm Binding. Stabbing Spear. #2502002
This is a great example of a Zulu Iklwa made in the Mid-19th Century, with a typical blade and good flare to the end of the haft. Many Zulu weapons were collected by the British troops and brought back to the UK as souvenirs after the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879.
The 290mm blade has a raised medial ridge. The blade is 38mm at its widest and is in good condition with forge marks and a great patina that add to its character.
The blade is secured firmly within the haft and woven ilala palm strips were added to strengthen the bond. The woven palm binding is in very good condition. The blade is firm in the haft.
The haft has a good flare to the end and a wonderful patina. The total length of the iklwa is 141cm or 55.5 inches.
This excellent mid-19th Century Iklwa will make a superb addition to any Anglo-Zulu War collection.
