The blade seems to be British, Wilkinson.
The figure on the handguard appears to have some Aztec features ( either my fantasy is running wild or the screen is blurry ). Mexican? S. American? |

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. |
