Dear customer,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a WWI German Imperial "Clamshell" sword with a total length of 38 inches. This sword comes with a scabbard and belonged to a member of the guard regiment for Friedrich von Baden.
This piece is in medium to good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 200 to 400 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
Georg
Dear customer,
Thank you for your email. This sword was made by the manufacturer ALCOSO, Alexander Coppel in the city of Solingen Germany. Solingen is since the medieval age a production center for blades that were exported. Especially in the 19th century with the standardization of the military equipment, the numerous manufacturers in Solingen produced for the German states which were unified 1871/1872.
I hope this answered your question.
With kind regards,
Georg
