I don't think that this is a German hunting sword.
At first I have never seen this kind of blade decoration on an German blade.
Second, hunting swords were made for noble people in Germany.
I don't think that anyone of these had accepted a forging flaw as can be seen on the depicted blade.
Moreover the guard, the quillon decoration and the silver and brass/gold? work do look Singhalese to me.

Just my two cents.

Greetings, Helge
