possible ottoman turkish naval sword

Just took possesion of this sword with the hunch it might be ottoman, due to the naval insignia however its made by coulaux e klingenthal. This is etched into the spine of the blade by the handle, very faint to see but there. does anyone know if they ever made any swords for the ottoman turkish navy? I thought most of the blades swords came from internal or german.
thanks

Just curious, what makes you believe it is Ottoman ?

The only reason I thought it might be Ottoman or Turkish was the naval insignia, I didnt think any other countries had the exact same anchor with the serpent around it, but obviously the french sword must have the same.
thanks
