It's a replica of the Sword of
Charlemagne.

Many makers have done replicas of this: Del Tin, Marto, Denix, lots of cheap Toledo makers, Deepeeka, and probably more. These vary from good quality functional swords (Del Tin), lower quality functional swords (Deepeeka), good quality wallhangers (Marto), through to cheap and nasty wallhangers. I don't recognise yours by maker, but it isn't Del Tin or Deepeeka. The scabbard is a copy of the original scabbard (well, the scabbard that's with the original sword); not a really accurate copy, but recognisable.
