Good call Fernando. I was surprised to see this in European but well understand Marcus' reasoning which was well placed in that perspective.
As far as I have known, it is most unusual to see these blades, which included M1853, M1885 and M1890 British cavalry swords , used in ethnographic edged weapons intact. There may have been cut down examples however, but unclear on cases offhand.

Excellent input Ibrahiim, and I agree, the Martini-Henry was most likely but Sniders (actually Enfield muskets converted to breech load with Snider patent) were also produced.
