I’ve asked that very question on another forum using your sword plus another as examples that might suggest a link. Unfortunately the consensus was that it was likely to be fashion rather than any regimental design.

One of my other swords has the same wave pattern etched up the blade edges as well but has triple fullers and etching without the guilding.
