More likely to have served in the Peninsular war (1807-1814), it certainly belonged to a high rank officer, maybe a General, i would venture, with its silver & ivory hilt.
Thank you very much for the reply. It makes sense. I found a French mounted hilt possibly (from the Peninsular War) similair to this one but in brass. Good insight :-)
