Theater Made Knife from German Officer's Sword- WW2?

I've had this knife for 20 years and always wondered how it came to be. It's made from a German Officer's sword.

I can't imagine someone cutting down a good sword. So I always assumed it was made from a broken one. The sheath has a cut down scabbard inside.

It's marked "Alcoso", for Alexander Coppel.

GI bring back?

It does look like a cut down Imperial German army officers sword with the "P" guard removed. Made from around 1890 through WWII used also by civilian as well as military.

Nice example
