One clue is that the actual grip looks to be covered in tortoise/turtle shell, natural or synthetic, often seen on Chinese and Japanese swords of the later 19th century..

Stephanus D.G. Rex Pol. D. Prus, says Poland or Transylvania.
Frangia reports to Hungary.
The hilt resembles to me the Austro-hungarian navy officer sword of 1857.

Captured sword later rehilted?
