This was part of a contract production of 1895 mauser production (95 is the type not year of the contract, which I don't know). Contracted with Chile. These bayonets were part of the contract to go with those rifles. So German made to fulfill an order by the government of Chile for small arms and kit for their army.

what do the marks and numbers mean

Like mentioned by Meyerse M1895, so the bayonet was made for M1895 Chilean rifle, probably done prior 1900, the bayonets were contracted by WKC, the other ricasso marking are for Chilean state crest shield with star inside and the 3 circle marking are for Krupp steel quality, the crossguard have different serial numbers for scabbard so this is a missmatched piece, the scabbard was for older rifle as marked with A range, the bayonet was with B range rifle. best regards,Andy
