Absolutely a very rare and seldom found Dutch cavalry officers sword. 
This model became popular after Napoleon Bonaparte's Egyptian expeditions ( 1798-1801). High rank British cavalry officers carried this model already around 1822 and there was an official pattern in 1831 as  dress sword for General officers. This Mameluke sword was "trendy" between 1830 and 1859 in the Netherlands. It was carried mainly by high rank officers of the Dutch cavalry but also by Home Guard officers. 
This particular example must have been made around 1845 in Solingen - Germany. 

New addition. Pictures will follow soon.
