The acanthus guard would indicate a Royal Engineers officer. I think the grip does look like it is based based around the 1912 cavalry officers sword but I would suggest it is may not be a precursor but could have been was specifically adapted from the cavalry sword. I think you have a sword that belonged to an engineer who had strong ideas as to what makes a good sword.
