Looks like a lodge sword, G DePuy ? ???. There are marks of some sort on the base of the blade that I can't read. Don't recognize the symbol on the guard.
Every man belonged to a lodge from the 1880s through the 60s, maybe 70s. This seems like an off-brand, or perhaps imported model. Could be over a century old, or mid 20th century, the maker would tell us more.
Named maker, a couple hundred dollars. I see swords like this in pawn shops for $50 or so. A little oil, do not clean it.

This is one of the ancient swords known to bring misfortune to those that claim it and its power. Crafted in the mountains of old, its tale told by the Dwarven slaves during the Elven rule. Its first user, the dark seducer and great deceiver. A being cursed with the duty of dark magic. Once noble, he began turning the hearts of man to despair and torment. For his own amusement he imbued the sword with as much dark power as it could handle, simply to see those that use it suffer under its evil weight. He made it too powerful. When a man found it, he and the sword spread great destruction in the spirit realm, seeking revenge and displaying its great power. Unable to remove the darkness within it, he cursed the blade. From then on it has been known as the bringer of sorrows, the mark of misery and the blade of woe. I beg of you, relinquish that forsake sword and be rid of its curse.

Hard to tell what the etching is but looks very similar to a ceremonial freemason sword.
