I just want to show my original austrian m1917 trench knife. Such a large knife in comparision to other trench knifes.

Here is a great reference thread on German, and Imperial trench knives, for you to have a look at.
That WWI German & occasional Austrian Trench Knife Thread
You may even find an example with the same markings as yours in there.
