Dear Diane,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The presented object appears to be a Spanish sword in the style of an rapier of the 16th century and is decoarted with the coat of arms of Spain. This sword was made in the city of Toledo which is an production centre for knifes and swords. This piece was made in the 19th century for usage for officials or military personal. It is dated 1868 and located with Toledo.
This piece is in damaged condition and there is a serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 80 to 180 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
