It appears to be a panther head officer's sword made by Eickhorn.
For actual authenticity, you will have to wait for others with more knowledge in this field.

It is worth noting that "ges gesch" translates to 'Gesetzlich geschützt' - protected by law

Perhaps this item was produced early in its series - even as an example - model - display piece before it was mass produced...
