Bayonet marked with Spital

I've got a bayonet I'm trying to identify. It seems to be marked on the blade with a maker's name Spital (in spiral form) plus aS within the spiral. It also has GF and an emblem that I can't quite work out at the moment.

The guard has 84, 356 and R marked on it. It has a barrel hole of 19mm diameter and the handle has a spring catch retainer.

The blade is 47cms long and down-curved.

Anbody any ideas of it's provenance?
