This sabre has absolutely nothing to do with pandures or other Austrian troops. It was a sabre of the household troops of the Archbishop of Cologne with an uncorrect hilt.
Yes that's it .It seems to be Clemens August.The crown shows stylized ermine tails what is a sign for a prince elector crown.So it should be one of the seven .Eduard Wagner shows in his book " Hieb - und Stichwaffen" a sword, that looks very similar .He describes it as Bavarian.
