I agree this is likely to be German, certainly European in any case, and the alteration of the blade well noted as well as end of 18th century as Dmitry has suggested. The naval suggestion seems well placed in keeping with the mounts of military form and the dirklike size. Its unfortunate that the markings are so indistinct, but enough left to reveal likely Solingen origin of blade.
