I believe this is referred to as the 1889 model. German and Austrian officer use thru WW1.

I agree with BBJW - this is a German "Infanterie Offiziers Degen" (IOD) M1889. To me the monogram on the hilt appears to be that of Kaisre Wilhelm, but I am not 100% sure about this. What is really interesting is how this sword made it to the PI?
