Hi Rachelle,
As Jim has pointed out the second basket hilt sword conforms to the P1828 Scottish officers regulation pattern. The button at the bottom of the scabbard is standard for scabbards of this pattern. A look at the blade should give more information as it may have all, some or none of the following, a proof slug which may point towards a particular maker, a makers name and possibly address, a regnal cipher i.e VR, ER VIII etc., or least likely a regimental name or insignia. Hope this is of some assistance.
Regards,
Norman.
