1770's-80's British Cavalry Sword for ID

Jim a few years ago Antony Cribb in the UK auctioned off an identical sword less the Wyatt name. It makes me wonder if that sword was a bring back or were the swords assembled in the UK and just retailed in the US? I do recall the silversmith Wyatt but found very little about him.
I do recall reaching out to a few museums years ago and I tried again at a couple, but they don't seen to have the ability to handle such requests ( I suppose it would turn into a full time job). Some museums claiming quite extensive sword collections but youm can't access them online.
