Can anyone ID this British Cavalry Sword?

I am pretty sure this is pre-1900. In a metal scabbard. I am having trouble reading the cypher and an ID on the pattern as it does not conform to any I have seen. Any help would be appreciated.

I have determined that it is an 1821 Heavy Cavalry Pattern, but I cannot find any with a crown and cypher in the guard.

Are these the only pictures you have to go by?

No, I have the sword. Markings on the blade. Crown over 30 E, broad arrow over WD and an X. Other side has '94, '99, 85E, 30E. and some other numbers that are hard to make out.

I figured it out. 1882 pattern Household Cavalry, Victorian era. First issued in 1897.

Nice sword. Glad you figured it out.

Very good detective work. Now that you point it out I can see the entwined "HC" in the guard below the crown. I could not make it out before.

It's actually the 1892p HHC troopers sword. The grip has been recovered in leather, originally would be shagreen ie fishskin.

The scabbard is the 1885/90 type with fixed opposing rings. HHC scabbards have a lower loose ring and an upper small fixed ring and bar.

Really I thought it was a British 1894 infantry sword
