Agree with Akanthus, this is a mid 18th c. saber from one of the Holy Roman principalities/electorates and seems Austrian. I do not have references at the moment for these but these I associate with forces contemporary to the notorious Pandours of those times.

This monogram CT, identified as to Carl Theodor (Charles IV) elector of Palatina and Duke of Juelich-Berg Dec 1742;
Later Dec1777 Charles II elector of Bavaria.
On a yataghan saber with staghorn grip plates in hirschfanger style hilt.
