Good thought, but the fortress on the Hamburg arms (if memory serves) has a double-door instead of the bars, and the sword seems to be missing the two Stars of David that are above the two corner towers. Very cool. Anyway you have pics of the whole sword?

Hard to say, there are so many coat of arms with 3 towers. I have attached the coa of Bratislava (former Pressburg) for example. Could it be the coa of a family as well?

With the helmet on top of the shield it might well be a family coat of arms. Can we see pictures of the sword itself?

There are several variants of this design, depending upon use. The use of the arms with escutcheons may indicate an official presentation from the city, or may just be the swordmaker's idea of appropriate embellishment. For examples with escutcheons, Google "coat of arms" and "Hamburg" for images of numerous variations.
