This is my last adquisition, This bebut sword from Russia. This type of sword aren,y my favourites, but I think the final price was good and finally I decided to bid. When I received sword I put pictures with details.
Thanks
Carlos

Better pics of the stamps on the blade and the scabbard would help. Check the leather: old and damaged vs. artificially aged, the blade ( too intact for a WWI weapon?) and the handle ( old wood vs. new staining).
99% of bebuts these days are made in India and China.
Sorry for the jaded view, but the contemporary market is brutal.

I think original item. M1907 type I.

Hope you are correct, but how can one be sure without decent pics of the stamps? I, for one, cannot read the inscriptions at all.

These are military issued? And were weapons like this standard issued with these kind of scabbards?
The scabbard looks a bit like a modified and shortened klewang (the Dutch military ones) version.

These were officially issued by Zlatoust (most of them), Izhevsk (bow and arrow mark) and Artinsk russian weapons' factories.
