Hey guys!

My first guess based on shape would be spanish, likely for a Mauser 93? But not sure about makers mark etc.
It would be helpful to post a clearer view of the markings...
Hello!
When you click on the pictures it should have shown the photos in high resolution. Sorry about that. I have close ups here.
when there is 14mm MRD so this is a romanian M1893 bayonet, made by Steyr. Eagle is on pommel. I assume there is a letter prefix in front of serial already missing as overall piece was cleaned.
Once again Andy, thank you so much for your help
It would be nice to see details of scabbard hook, as there should be too romanian eagle.
Hello Andy!
This is the only marking on the scabbard hook or anywhere else I can see on the scabbard. Many many thanks
One thing I did think was strange is someone's ran a white / gold pinstripe down the outside of the scabbard all the way to the bottom and to the neck that loops around at the top of the scabbard.
That is a braz line as the steel plate was bent and then brazed together. Normal production of scabbard. The hook is marked only a Steyr production, normally it would have similar eagle on hook, so Your scabbard could be replacement piece.
