Sword ID and other info

[Ryanevest]

I am new to collecting and my progress will be slow. I was given a sword by my grandpa a long time ago. I believe he bought it at a garage sale because he knew I like swords. I was just wanting to find out any information that I could get and even what it may be worth. I have no intention on selling it but I just would like to know. It also has some type of engraving on it and I would love to know what that says. It is not in the best condition and if need be I can get some better pics up here but this is what I have at this point.
