'ello rickc44 welcome to SBG.
More info. & pics would be helpful.
What exact markings are on the blade? (proof stamp / plug - royal cypher etc.)
better pics of guard will help..it sort of looks like a P1987 infantry.
the more info. you can provide the better est. value can be given.
cheers,
Bill

Without anything else to go on, I'll say this- Wilkinson swords generally go for $200-300 range brand new; the picture isn't that good so its hard to see what Billiam's asking for.
Could be a good replica or not; could be authentic- we need more pics to help establish the provenance on this sword.

Since Wilkinson is no longer in the sword making business (they closed that particular plant down well over a year or two ago and this is not a military issue, but just a decorative piece...I'd drop the price to $150 tops if in perfect condition strictly for the fact that it's has the Wilkinson name.
You also may post it over on the SFI Antique & Military sword part of forum to see what other response / info. you get. And on the military sword section of the forum here. Hotspur and Jonathan H, may have more insight.....I've been out of the antique sword loop for a bit.
cheers
