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 He has withdrawn the $800 pre-tax allowance on imports and has also cancelled the exemption for antiques.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.
Scottish Military Dress Dirk. Glasgow City Piper. #2502010
This late 19th/early 20th Century Scottish military-style dress dirk bears the city coat of arms of Glasgow. It is likely that the dirk was used by a Glasgow city piper.
The 236mm single-edged blade has a scalloped spine above a deep, narrow fuller and terminates in a double-edged spear point. The blade is in very good condition, retaining its original polish with only minor patches of pale tarnish. The edge remains sharp.
The carved ebony hilt has an intricate basket weave design and the white metal bolster is heavily embossed with Scottish thistles. The pommel is capped with the coat of arms of the city of Glasgow, bordered with embossed thistles. The blade is firm in the hilt.
The black leather covered wooden scabbard is decorated with white metal shields embossed with Scottish thistles. The locket bears the Glasgow city coat of arms. The by-knife and fork are unfortunately absent. The belt for attaching the dirk to the piper’s belt is present and in good order.
The dirk sheathes and draws smoothly from the scabbard.
This is a good example of a scarce Glasgow City piper’s dress dirk.
