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 He has withdrawn the $800 pre-tax allowance on imports and has also cancelled the exemption for antiques.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.
This Swedish Model 1896 bayonet is the Mk II variant with a conical locking stud. This example was made by Eskilstuna Jernmanufactur. EJ-AB produced around 280,000 of these bayonets between 1899 and 1912.
The 212mm single-edged blade has a narrow, flat spine with a thin single fuller on each side and terminates in a spear point. The blade is bright and clean and in very good condition with some minor tarnish at the point.
The ricasso bears the makers anchored logo above the serial number “367”. The obverse has a crowned inspection stamp.
The steel cross-piece has wear to the original blueing and is unit marked. The tubular steel grip is knurled and blued. The conical attachment mechanism is in good working order.
The bayonet is complete with its blued steel scabbard. The scabbard has the expected wear to the blueing and is in excellent condition. The bayonet sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.
These Swedish bayonets are an excellent buy. They are very well made, all steel construction and iconic – an ideal collectors’ bayonet.
