Chassepot Bayonet Identification?

Hi all, picked up this bayonet at a local antique shop listed as a Belgian Bayonet.

All the research I’ve been able to do suggests it’s a French yataghan style blade, likely a m1866, what I am really struggling with is the inscription on the spine. I just haven’t been able to find enough examples of the script nor know French well enough to read it. Hoping someone has some idea for me or can point me in the right direction! Thank you
