I believe it is Russian military. It belonged to my grandfather, who fought in WW2. There are stamps on the blade, and the sword comes with a sheath.

Dear Joshua,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.
The presented object appears to be a Russian Soviet M1927 shashka sword. This piece is dated 1928 and has acceptance and proof stamps. It comes with the scabbard.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 400 to 800 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
George
