Gras was M1874, not M1877, and with one s, but anyway: Probably a Chilean Gras conversion for the M1895 Mauser carbine.

Same opinion, should be compared firstly the handle, is same lenght as Gras? when yes then it could be delivery to export country as it doesnt have any french marking, the blade was made by Coppel in Germany, the conversion was probably made for chilean rifle M1895, should be measured the MRD of barell ring when 15,5mm it should be so.

Unfortunally i dont believe on the ottoman picture You have Gras bayonet there is clearly a M1890 turkish bayonet, note the press button on right side!
Secondly belgian used normal french Gras bayonet that were preserved for civilian market but buyed by german and other armies in 1914, even already total obsolete.
Thirdly the greek conversion is much earlier as 1939, it was made from old storages of greek Gras M1874 which normally should be austrian production or french delivery in WW1, but the conversion was done for Mannlicher M1903 /14 which means different barell ring diameter, this is the reason why i asked for MRD inner diameter!

The ring diameter is 17 millimeters.

By inner diameter of 17mm?? should be 17,4mm in real case, it could be converted teoretically as belgian conversion for M1889 rifle. Chile and Greece would be out of run then.
