Dear Eli,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

Based on the images and information provided, this item is:

A German Imperial sword, from 19th century. The type is comparable to the dress sword of the German Imperial Artillery but the blade is more decored with partly gildings, blueing, and etchings.

This piece is in fair condition, signals of aging.

This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
