Default Early 1800's US Eagle head Sword

I picked this up a couple of days ago in a trade. I believe it is an Artillery Officer's sabre from 1800-1820. Of course missing scabbard. Has floral design on both sides with kettle type drums, crossed flag and pike with "freedom" capand the U>S> eagl withe motto on the other. Can't make out any markings, but thinking German maker. Has flamming bomb on bottom of cross guard. Your thoughts?
