I would suspect German in origin with the muzzle ring added by the Turks after WW1

Hello

German ersatz bayonet altered by the turks. The blade has been shortened and the original open muzzle ring has been changed for this turkish muzzle ring.

You should proof it on other rifles, like Mannlicher M95 or others, looks like short slot . What is the inner diameter of barell ring?
