William Scully Canadian Antique Military Sword
Blade is 33 inches length. 7/8ths of an inch wide at the base of the blade. Hilt is 6 inches. Comes with metal scabbard. At the base of the blade, on one side, is the engraving “William Scully Montreal”. On the other side is an engraving of the Star of David (I think) with a circle in the middle. In the circle is the letter H, and the word “proved” engraved around it. Pretty engravings all down the blade. There are 2 notches on the blade, as if it has clashed with another blade. There is a decorative sash around the hilt.
Grandpa owned it before me. That’s all I know.

Dear Darik,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the apprisal.
The presented object appears to be a sword with a scabbard of a Canadian Militia officer. The ricasso is etched “William Scully Montreal" and this piece was probably made in the late 19th or 20th century.
This piece is in medium condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 100 to 200 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
