Hello Cathy,

the sword you presented has an Italian design or style to it, but it could also be south German or Styrian.
In Germany they call this type a riding sword or in everyday language even schwert rapier which means sword rapier, here are some other examples of riding swords or sword rapiers.

kind regards
