Updated information.
I was finally able to collect more information about this bayonet.
It came from a Warrant Officer of the Dutch Army Fuselier Guards, who used it many years during his service.
He traded his issued bayonet with this one from an US soldier at a para course held in Germany.
I first thought that some diemaco contract M9s couldn't had been engraved with the serial number (armoures who kept few M9 for themselves?), but I was abviously wrong.
So, not a diemaco contract M9, but still a nice addition to my collection!
