Dear Valerie, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal. The presented object appears to be a Burmese Dha sword. It has a slightly curved single-edged blade and the blade and scabbards are siver-covered. The whole covering is decorated with a typical Burmese floral decoration system. Also, an Dha has no handguard and a round pommel. These swords were made in the second half of the 20th century. Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market. This piece is in medium condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided. A fair market estimation would be between 100 to 250 USD each. 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, Gregory
