Dear Larry,
Thank you for your help and patience. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.
The presented object appears to be a modern version of the French briquet saber. This model was used during the Napoleonic period. The blade of this piece was not forged and has traces of modern machines.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and no severe damage is 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,
George
