This is an original WWI Imperial Russian sword also known as a kindjal and also a bebut. It has Imperial Russian markings as well as date of manufacture 1913 stamped on the ricasso. On the brass throat of the scabbard are stampings annotating the Imperial Russian military unit designation which this sword was issued as well as matching military unit designation stamped on the brass portion of the sword handle. The blade retained its edge, the point is intact and the blade has a little discoloration with some very light pitting. This is hands down the finest example of an Imperial Russian kindjal I have ever seen either in person, auctions, reference books or museums.
