I took time to read up in „Fachwörter der Blankwaffenkunde“ from Gerhard Seifert (2007) to find the exact definition for Pallasch, Degen and Sabre.
The charakteristic of a Degen is the straight blade, which can be single or double edged.It is a kind of „ sword light “ .
In contrast a Sabre has a bent,single edged,to the tip often double edged blade.
A Pallasch has a straight, one or double edged blade in combination with a sabre hilt.The blade is broader than the blade of a Degen.
So in my opinion the shown weapon is rather a Pallasch .
