[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 503847, member: 54"]If you call them and request an appointment for an appraisal, they will probably all do what you want, but will charge a fee. If you are requesting a freebie from a business person, I doubt many would give their time for free. We’ve collectively suggested various auctioneers; have you tried any? Obviously you need to have some intent to have them sell it for you. A couple of issues that work against the sword bringing lots of money are the blade damage, that it is a very common type of sword, and the apparent lack of provenance/documentation.
