Gonna be tough....in simplicity, short unfullered blade, brass hit unusual knuckle guard, cannot find match in usual sources but would guess European infantry hanger 18thc. The very unusual stamped mark on the tang no luck either.
Interest piqued so still trying. Just wanted to say something to let you know your post is interesting. Thank you for posting this,

Best
Jim

The grip core is likely original, with cord acting as groves for the wire. It reminds me of something lowlands channel or Danish. I'll poke around. Contemporary time wise to the British artillery swords of the late 18th century.

It is familiar from somewhere.

Infantry/police size.

Cheers
