Hi Jim,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
The 26-inch sword with the eagle on the brass handle is anAmerican Civil War Era N. P. Ames Springfield Artillery Cutlass Sword, in very poor rusticated condition and worth between $50 and $100.
The 31-inch long curved sword with the red fabric scabbard/sheath looks to be an antique circa 1900s Golden Temple sword made in India and probably for the tourist market, with losses to the hilt and rusting to the blade, worth about $75-125
The 21-inch long sword with the lion's head handle is also probably Indian, with velvet(?) scabbard and rusty blade, worth around $75.
Sold together as a group, you're looking at about $250-350* at auction.
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, or questions/concerns, and thank you again for using Mearto.
