Nice sword! I think it's English, rather than German. Based on its appearance I would say this was an officer's personal weapon, rather than civilian's.
Tha blade appears to be of earlier period, than the mounts, and was shortened. I would guess the the blade is from late 1600s onward, and the sword ca.1795. It has a good 'naval officer's hanger' vibe to it.
