I have no doubts that this is an English hanger, and not German, or any other kind, and will wager a pint of good ale on that.
Most importantly it's contained in the British officer's scabbard, and the remnants of the guard show that it was originally pierced with many small slotted apertures, a characteristic sometimes encountered on the hilts of English hangers ca.1770s-1790s.
