American Saber
This sword appears to be American made, and has SA 1913 at the base of the blade on one side, and U.S. 16875 on the other. There is some tarnish on the blade, but it is in great condition if it was made in 1913.

Dear Robert,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.
The presented object appears to be US SA 1913 bolo knife without scabbard. It was used by the Hospital Corps of the US.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 80 to 150 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,
Gregory
