I have one very similar but not PDL. I can't make out the mark. Looks like it starts with Mo... I always thought it was a variety of the Prussian Hirschfanger 1810/23 as shown in Lubbe's book, item 20 on pages 34/35. Both mine and yours are very similar to the one in the book except the "beak" or swell at the top of the handle goes to the right and the one in the book goes to the left. Does your's have a bayonet lug on the reverse of the grip? Mine and Lubbe's do.
I'll try and get some pictures for you to compare.

There is nothing on it for a bayonet. I have lubbe's book. I looked at that but I dont have a clam on mine. Plus there is no slot for the bayonet. It is a small sword.
