Welcome aboard
I tend to view similar swords as items of interest but that suffer in value due to condition. Something missing in your photos are overall photos of the sword, which might be the best judge of value. Even then, one is left with comparing sold prices of the most similar examples.
What i can judge of the condition would indicate the value is of the story itself. The overall physical condition appears only fair. Determining the coat of arms might link an individual and then might afford a larger picture behind the sword. It is not the more common type of a civilian degen but does appear to be a dress sword.
There are German based forums and also some interests on other boards such as

Good luck

Yes. Unfortunately, still telling us nothing about the original owner of the sword and indeed, still lacking in information without overall images, dimensions, etc. The scabbards being mostly of leather, early casualties and losses.
Cheers

Found it is linked to a house called Redern by the inverse crest on the pommel.
Please see the attached thread on heradlry.
