Hi Tyler,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Recent auction sales of Guoms of similar age reflect the market's interest and support of more elaborate examples; in comparison, yours reflects its utilitarian purpose and is fairly plain though its design features the characteristic tiger-head pommel. Similar pieces have sold recently for between $200-400.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

An antique brass and steel Vietnamese Guom
19th Century
The hilt with shaped wooden handle with brass tiger's head pommel and shaped strap guard, the slightly curved blade. Together with a leather scabbard with brass locket (lacking chape).
78 cm (30-3/4 inches) overall length
CONDITION: This saber is reported - and appears - to be in generally fair condition with some looseness to the handle. The leather scabbard is lacking the chape (tip).
PROVENANCE: Acquired in an online auction
$ 200-400*
*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.
