C.1850 British Military Bandsword/Ceremonial Sword – South African Origin(?)

An unusual mid-19th Century British military bandsword/cermonial sword – of a similar type that was carried by numerous regiments, particularly when they had flexibility of hilt design choice.  Hilt made from cast-brass and with double-fullered, double-edged blade – no scabbard.  This sword came from South Africa so might have been used in a colonial military band of the 19th Century.  In good overall condition.  Blade length is 26 inches (32 inches overall).
