What is the sword?
Austrian M1861 Infantry Officers?

That would fit with my initial thoughts that the Coronet was representing an Austrian/German 'Freiherrnkrone' (Barons Coronet)

I'd guess it might just be a makers stamp? You could look for late 19thC Austrian German makers who use a coronet as a stamp.

Does the pommel nut unscrew to allow for stripping?
If so you might be able to see whatever that is that is partially obscured above the 'crown and rope'?

Are there any other markings on it?
