Eisenhauer Echt Damast = Ironworks, genuine Damast

Ewald Cleff Solingen = Ewald Cleff is probably the smith that made the sword, Solingen is the town it was made.

Sounds like a nice sword that might be worth something. Check for other symbols. Someone's grandfather (great grandfather) may have taken it as a trophy during WWI

The language is German. I think you are missing some letters though. Echt means genuine. Solingen is a city in Germany known for making knives.
