Short Sword / bayonet sheath Id

Found this in a basement a while back. Can’t find the mark anywhere. German? WWI?

 

I'll let someone with more knowledge go beyond what I'm guessing.

I started looking at the mark, but that did not pan-out for me. Then I found this

I looked for construction similarities.
Spain has similar aspects in the belt frog, leather scabbard, and steel mounts. See M1892/93

The frog is longer and has an extra lower notch.

Thanks much for doing some digging. That one does look remarkably close. I guess it’s probably for a Mauser even if not that exact one because of the longer frog.

 

Your guess is as good as mine.
The link that I noted turns out to be the same one listed in the Military section of this forum...

german...or spanish , to fit the M1893....is the closest I can see...

 

problem is that Belgium made similar and exported them as far as Africa and South America . I've seen that mark with the crown before but can't remember where from.
