This blade probably isn't Polish. Such blades with inscription like this are very rare in Poland, and in 18th century most of the blades used in this country are very characteristic, with also very characteristic inscriptions. Of course it could be fitted to Polish sabre, imported from i.e. Germany, but this is just a wishful thinking and pure conjecture without evidence.

Regards!
