Hello Bathala, I have little experience with European swords but this looks like it may have been made in a machine shop by an artistically minded craftsman rather than by a traditional swordsmith.
There are just so many neat, parallel lines and surfaces in its construction and the fullers especially look like they were done on a milling machine. I think if you measured the the thickness of the blade and the width of the fullers and their distance from each other you may see little difference in different parts of the blade. This is just my impression of it though.
