Dear Rick,

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 Western scimitar sword with a full length of 28 inches. The blade is etched an has an probably Spanish inscription and on the other side of the blade two lions and a crown. This piece was probably made in Spain or Middle America in the 20th century.
Comparable objects were recently not offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in medium condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 40 to 80 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,
George
