Curved sword from Spain.
Curved sword from Spain. Elaborate engraving, Marked with FANLDTO on one side and ANO 1844 on the other. Wood and metal hand grip. Metal blade and sheath. Blade is about 31 inches long and curved. Thickest part of blade is 1/8 inch. Has a metal hand protector. Reminds me of a sword the 3 musketeers would use.
My grandparents on both sides are from Spain. I found it in the back of a closet with 2 other swords also from Spain.

Dear ,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a Spanish cutlass made 1844. Such heavy cutlass were mainly used by the mebers of the Navy. The steel blade has an etched decoartion. The mark or name FANLDTO does not lead to an producer.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 100 to 2500 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
