Austro hungaric academic sword?

Santa went earlier this year and brought me this sword. Pretty bad shape with broken blade, without wiring but it had rather an illustrus owner whos name is inscribed on the blade. A museum treasure for me. So his name was Heinrich Schollmayer von Lichtenberg and was an iconic person in my area. He was the forest manager for a vast part of forrest area in central Slovenia (around Postumia Caves) under the austro hungaric empire, then a congresman, politician, high ranking state official, writer, a prominent nautralist. He passed away in 1930.

Now about the sword.

I presume this an austro hungarian academic, perhaps official sword?
Is it an official model or just a private purchase piece?
