I think it is an 1892 Pattern Rifle Guard Regiment sword.

I thought the dumbell cross section - as evident in the photos of your sword - was first introduced on the 1892 P, and the 1827 P only differed from the 1822 P in replacing the pipeback blade with a flatter spine? I have a 1892 P Rifle Guard sword that looks, well, exactly like this one.
