Victorian Era Infantry Officer’s Sword?

Specifically, my worry about the scabbard is that it seems longer than the sword in it's entirety.

Some of this is caused by distortion in the photo. It was taken at an angle with a wide lens. I'd need to climb a ladder to take the shot with a 35mm lens straight down, and I didn't have a ladder. But you are right The blade is 29 inches long. The sword is 34 1/2 inches long. The scabbard is 36 inches long.
