The monogram "CA" stands for Clemens August Ferdinand Maria Hyazinth, Duke of Bavaria (* August 16, 1700 in Brussels[1]; † February 6, 1761 in Koblenz). He was as Clemens August I. Archbishop of Cologne from 1723 to 1761 and thus at the same time Elector of the Holy Roman Empire , ruler of the associated archbishopric and the neighboring states of Recklinghausen and Westphalia.
This sabre has absolutely nothing to do with pandures or other Austrian troops. It was a sabre of the household troops of the Archbishop of Cologne with an uncorrect hilt.
