Large Sword
17 March 2023
Description

The sword hung on the wall of my father's office in N.Y.I was told to it was a Spanish sword from when the Spanish explored the Americas. It is the colour of rust nowI'm not sure but from memory it was a copper colour but is definitely metal,not heavy maybe a kg or two. The handle is wood. I'm not sure if I should polish it?

What does this mean?

Dear Julieann,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.

The presented object appears to be a flame blade theatrical or collectors sword from the late 19th or 20th century.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in bad condition and severe damage is visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 20 to 40 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
