I could be entirely mistaken, but my gut feeling
is that it is an Indian made copy of a German
sword. Hilt brass is porous and lacks
definition, IMO.

Ideally, there should be a mark or markings
under one of the langets - the rounded
shield looking parts on either side
of the blade.........

ill add some extra pic
note: obtained from an heritage coming from a village 10 miles from the German western border

If it is an original piece, it has been heavily cleaned
and polished. I notice there is an etch on the
blade, which may be trying to give an
impression of quality, but a lot of it
is ground off.........

I would agree with Steve. A very post-war copy that has been poorly but heavily aged. The brass particularly looks terrible.

That "brass" definition would not pass manufacturing inspection ...
Looks to be a cast copy ..
