Dear Chip,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a masonic knights templar dress sword. It has the maker mark "Cincinnati Regalia, Cincinnati", and is personalized with a badge with the initials "UR". This sword comes without a scabbard.
This piece is in medium condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 100 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,
Georg
