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 He has withdrawn the $800 pre-tax allowance on imports and has also cancelled the exemption for antiques.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 excellent Georgian sword stick dates from the reign of King George III and is made from a hardwood stick. The walking stick has a woven wicker collar. It would have been the property of an English country gentleman.
The 662mm single-edged blade has a deep narrow fuller below the flat spine and tapers to a double-edged, needle-sharp point. The blade is in good condition with some minor age-related tarnish.
The blade sheathes snugly within the body of the cane and is held firmly without rattle.
The hardwood handle of the cane has a turned horn top. The handle has a lanyard slot, faced with nickel-silver. A woven wicker collar finishes the handle of the cane.
The body of the cane has an old repair roughly mid-way. The repair is excellent and blends perfectly with the wood. The cane has a worn and rusted ferrule, testament to its years of use.
The cane is in overall excellent condition. Total length 930mm.
Disclaimer:All sword canes sold by Bygone Blades are sold as historical collectables. They are sold for decorative collectable purposes only. In the United Kingdom and many other countries, it is a serious criminal offence to use a sword cane in public.
