Dear Anthony,

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 Veterans dress sword made by Horstmannin Philadelphia. This dress sword comes with the scabbard and the handguard is engraved with the name of the former owner Capt. LD Baugh. This piece was probably made in the second half of the 19th century
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market. 
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 200 to 400 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
