You are right, I have a Spanish bayonet M1941 with the same marking.

When I looked at this blade I thought about old Toledo-blades like the attached ones. I don't know if similar things were produced in France or England.
But I think Spain would be plausible because...

The handle looks like from a javanese Keris.

Looks like a typical example.
The mountings could be from Kubachi or
another place in Dagestan. The blade is maybe

Elegant Bichaq with inscription for translation

Hello,

I also got this beautiful Bichaq. Because of the fuller work I think it was made around 1900 in the region of Trabzon, maybe in Surmene.
