			This looks like a nice Ethiopian gurade, probably from the first half of the 19th century, the priod between the two world wars. The mark suggests that the blade is of German manufacture. Was that Alex Coppel's mark? I am not sure, you might need to do more research. It is quite a complete example - scabbard, baldric and all.
