sword ID'ed 1902 Army Officer, Any ideas on scabbard?

picked this sword up at the local flea market....i got it pretty cheap so if it is a repro it won't hurt my feelings.....the scabbard doesn't match this particular sword.....only markings i can find is a "C" or"G" on one side of the blade and on the other looks like an engraved "W" or possibly just scratches and another possible stamped letter...dunno if the pics will show it well enough the sword is 37" overall with blade being 31 3/4" by 7/8" wide slight oval shape.....scabbard is 31" in length.....any info would be great

Why does the guard look so new? Is it painted? Is it brass?
