I doubt a naval board would've contracted a little-known German maker to make cutlasses for the Royal Navy. My guess is what this is, a product of a smaller company, hence the esoteric logo. Could've been a product made on offer to a shipping line, or even for a steam yacht owner, who wanted a cutlass rack on board.
