Don't know much else other than what I have learned here. These were probably issued in some numbers. Its the quality of the blade that makes the difference between officer and regular troops I believe. The wootz bladed sword of mine probably belonging to an officer or body guard. They are a bit rare perhaps. I see these come up every so often. There is one in the swap forum right now. I've seen them at gun shows too. My buddy spoke of a large stash that was found a while back. All I know is I like 'em. Yours especially.

You're very kind Stephen, but mine looks quite plain compared with your beauties.
It does swing rather well though
I'll come back with some cleaned pictures when it's restored. Has some pitting, but generally not bad.
Best
