Here are the engravings on the front and back of the silver mounts of the hilt and scabbard.  The name: "J McLeod".  There is a crown stamp and the pictures of cannons, battle flags, and swords, and spears indicate to me that this person was also an officer in the British military. 
 
My 2 questions:  
 
1.  Does the presence of cannons indicate being part of an artillery unit? 
 
2.  What does "RB 2" mean? 
 
 
Other comments welcomed as well.
