Similar models are known from late 19 century, there should be measured exactly blade lenght, socket lenght, diameter of socket internally, all other dimmension, for designation could help the details of marking, i dont believe is russian, as there are latin alphabet, so most real crown letters could be belgian, dutch or other country of western or nord (swedish) Europe. Swiss could be too posibility as quadrancular blade design. for them is not typical a crown letter proof.

This looks like a Dutch Beaumont bayonet. I believe this is the second model, as the ring is removable.
This was used on the M71 (geweer, klein caliber = rifle, small calibre).
I have a similar one that is marked: 374 B on the same spot. The other markings I do niot recognise.
Cheers,
Emile

Thank you for the information. It is indeed a M1871 second pattern. I thought I had looked at all of the bayonets over 20" Greatly appreciated.
