Dear James, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. The presented object appears to be a Vietnamese sword with a scabbard. This type of sword is typical of the swords of the Vietnamese Montagnard people. It was made in the 20th century. 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. A fair market estimation would be between 100 to 200 USD. This estimate is based on recently recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary. With kind regards, George
