A Sword/Sabre To Identify

This looks like a very elaborated form of Pedang Cagak.

While I admire the scabbard and the hilt and guard, they look way more elaborate than anything I have ever seen and also a little bit too pristine.

The pommel and guard are heavily influenced by Dutch infantry sabres (M1912?)

This may be closer to your example.

Based on these examples, could we call these "parade/cermonial swords" for high ranking military officers during the Dutch Colonial period (19th C)?
