Hello Alexander,
Finally a thread on this nice sword.
I am not an expert, but I like this sword specifically because it has been in actual use during WW1. Your example is dated 1912 ('12)
1. : I am sure they are still being carried by "the Kings Own Royal Horse Artillery". as a troopers sword / lower ranks.
3. : Normally they should have 2 round loops on the scabbard for attaching them to the saddle with a special horseshoe pouch/swordcarrier.
