Description

Own a rare piece of early 20th-century history with this exceptional Russian Civil War 1918 Bebut Dagger, now available at Antique Armory. This authentic Kindjal-style short sword serves as a grim and beautiful relic from one of history’s most tumultuous eras. Produced during the height of the revolution, this blade features the prominent Zlatoust Arsenal stamping and is clearly dated 1918, marking it as a genuine artifact of the transitional period between Imperial Russia and the Soviet Union.

As a highly sought-after military collectible, this Bebut stands out due to its unique unit markings. The crossguard ferrule is deeply inscribed with regimental markings representing the 15th Marine Regiment, while the matching scabbard features the inventory mark “L.M. 22 35.” These details provide a rare level of provenance for enthusiasts of Antique Russian militaria. The 17.2-inch double-edged curved blade retains a striking grey patina with localized oxidation, consistent with its age and field use.

The construction of this historical edged weapon remains remarkably robust. The solid wooden hilt is securely fastened by two original brass rivets, providing the same ergonomic grip favored by Russian artillery and machine-gun crews. The accompanying scabbard is equally impressive, retaining its original leather wrap and brass hardware. Measuring 23.5 inches in total length, this Imperial Russian Bebut is a premier example of functional military craftsmanship.
