Comparing this sword to that on pp. 166-8 of Dellar's new book 'The British Cavalry Sword 1788-1912' it looks very like the 1896-1912 Universal pattern cavalry officer's sword. The illustration used, of a sword of the 3rd Dragoon Guards, has a blade 35" long by 1and1/8" wide, double-edged for the last 8and1/2".
Hope this helps.
