Yes, it seems to be if not by the same smith, most certainly from the same centre of influence and of the same period.

From what little can be seen, that basket could either be Scottish or English. I think that the blade is English military, as it has the typical narrow and wide fullering.

Hopefully more photos will be forthcoming.
