Hi,
This is a cavalry bandsman's sword, marked to the 2nd West India regiment (ie. Caribbean, not India).
This type of sword was carried by bandsmen from around 1820 to the late-19th century.

It is a common sword?

They are not uncommon. If you Google search British bandsman's sword you will find quite a lot of examples.

I'll be honest, something about this example doesn't look correct to me. I don't want to say that it is an Indian replica, because it may not be, but you may want to search places like Weaponedge and Worldwide Arms, because there are Indian companies making replicas of British military swords.
