My gut feeling is this is a Spanish officer who joined the British army. The sword is piquet weight for dress. Scinde cavalry officers preferred this steel hilt for more hand protection and its obvious desirable appearance. The officer would have to be in the UK to have such a hilt mated to his Spanish blade.
