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 He has withdrawn the $800 pre-tax allowance on imports and has also cancelled the exemption for antiques.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. Victorian Royal Scots Fusiliers Broadsword. Pillin. #2506003
This Victorian, Royal Scots Fusiliers officer’s broadsword was made by Pillin, a renowned 19th Century English sword maker. The Royal Scots were the oldest and most senior line infantry regiment of the British army. The regiment was raised in 1633 during the reign of Charles I of Scotland and served continuously until 2006 when it was amalgamated with the other Scottish regiments to form the Royal Regiment of Scotland.
The 830mm double-edged (broadsword) blade has twin, three-quarter length fullers and terminates in a spear point. The blade is etched with foliate scrollwork and arches above and below the flaming grenade of the fusiliers with the regimental title, “1st V. B. Royal Scots Fusiliers” encircling the grenade. The grenade bears a thistle motif. A larger thistle is etched below the regimental emblem. The obverse of the blade is similarly etched with foliate scrollwork and ogee and trefoil arches and bears the royal cypher of Queen Victoria.
The ricasso is etched with the retailer’s details, “J. Neilson & Son. Bank Place, Kilmarnock.” The obverse ricasso bears the Pillin maker’s brass proof stud.
The blade is in good condition with some small edge nicks.
The 1828 pattern basket guard is in good condition and retains its red liner and tassel, albeit with some wear and discolouration.
The sword is complete with its plated steel scabbard with twin suspension rings and ball finial to the bottom. The scabbard is in good condition with speckled tarnish, pin-prick bubbling and small losses to the plating. The sword sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.
This is a good example of a Victorian, Royal Scots Fusiliers officer’s broadsword by a top maker.
