What does this mean?

Dear Matthew,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The presented object appears to be an undecorated sword with a scabbard. The design is comparable with the so-called Dha or Daab swords which named a sword type that is used in many countries in Southeast Asia. This type reminds of sword from Burma or Thailand.
Artworks of this artist were recently offered and sold on the international and national auction market.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 50 to 100 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.

With kind regards,
Georg
