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 He has withdrawn the $800 pre-tax allowance on imports and has also cancelled the exemption for antiques.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.
British Lovell's Catch 1851 Pattern Musket Bayonet. #2511007
The Lovell’s spring catch was developed early in the 1840’s as a replacement for the Hanoverian catch and was approved by the Board of Ordnance on the 23rd October 1844. Following its adoption, the Lovell catch was retro-fitted to several earlier patterns of socket bayonet and was also used with new pattern muskets. This particular bayonet is for the 1851 pattern musket. It is essentially the same as the 1842 pattern, but with a slightly smaller diameter socket.
This 1851 pattern bayonet has an overall length of 528mm. The socket is 76mm in length with a muzzle diameter of 22.8mm. The blade is 427mm long. The triangular blade has twin fullers on the underside and a flat, un-fullered face. The base of the blade bears the remnants of a maker’s mark and the forte is deeply stamped with a Birmingham inspection mark.
The bayonet is in good condition.
