Dear Maureen,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be an Indonesian sword with unknown measurements. This type of sword is typical with its straight blade and handle for the island Jawa and is called "Luwuk". The blade appears to be Damascus steel and this piece was probably made in the late 19th or first half of the 20th century.
This piece is in medium condition and there are small damages visible.
An estimation would be between 150 to 300 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
With kind regards,
Georg
