    Russian Model 1907 Soldier’s Dagger (Bebut) Russian Empire [Weapons Factory Zlatoust] Matching numbers 1912 (Lot: 1479)

    Soldier’s dagger of the 1907 model, known as the ‘bebut’, manufactured in 1912 at the Zlatoust Arms Factory. The characteristic curved blade and recognizable silhouette make this specimen of cold steel one of the most interesting items in the history of weapons of the Russian Imperial Army.

    The Zlatoust Arms Factory, which was one of the leading manufacturers of cold steel weapons in the Russian Empire, produced bebuts for army use in accordance with approved standards. The manufacturer’s mark confirms the authenticity and provenance of this specimen.

    Particular collector’s value is represented by the presence of matching serial numbers on the weapon’s components. The coincidence of numbers testifies to the preservation of the complete set in its original configuration and significantly enhances the significance of this item for collectors of military antiques from the late Russian Imperial period.

  • Bayonet, Model 1898. [Clemen & Jung].

    Bayonet, Model 1898. [Clemen & Jung]. (Lot: 1477)

    Adopted by the German Army in 1898 alongside the legendary Mauser rifle system, this bayonet became one of the most widespread and recognizable examples of edged weapons at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The blade bears the hallmark of the renowned Solingen firm Clemen & Jung, which specialized in the production of military blades and established itself as a reliable supplier to the German armed forces. The characteristic construction of the Model 1898 bayonet with its distinctive profile and mounting system for the Gewehr 98 rifle makes it a desirable acquisition for collectors of German military antiques and First World War history.

  • German Sword, pre-1918 Infantry.

    German Sword, pre-1918 Infantry. (Lot: 1476)

    Officer’s cold weapon of the German Empire prior to 1918, belonging to infantry units. Land sabers of this period were distinguished by characteristic structural features dictated by the specific requirements of service in foot troops. Infantry officers carried sabers of a somewhat different pattern than cavalrymen; their blades typically had less curvature and were adapted primarily for parade and everyday wear rather than for mounted combat.

    German sabers of this period bear the imprint of the military tradition of numerous German states united in 1871 into a single empire. Each kingdom, duchy, or principality contributed its own elements to the decoration of hilts and scabbards, making the attribution of such specimens a particularly engaging task for the collector. Infantry sabers of Prussian, Bavarian, Saxon, or Württemberg origin may differ substantially in details while maintaining overall similarity in silhouette.

    Weapons of this type served as an integral part of officer’s equipment for decades, up until the end of World War I, when the German Empire ceased to exist. The collectible appeal of such objects is determined by their historical significance, quality of execution, and relative rarity on the contemporary antique market.
