Well, it sure looks like someone is putting together their own unique assortment of knives, huh?

Here is the text so we have it...

Quote:
M9 Lan-Cay Desert Tan Bayonet in Mint condition. Rare forged Lan-Cay marked blade with a shallow blood groove. Gray blade has the old style step near the handle, old style saw teeth, and a flat grind cutting edge. This is a lighter blade. The Desert Tan scabbard is marked Lan-Cay and does not have a sharpening stone on the back. The Desert Tan handle is the straight earlier type. Absolutely beautiful set! Very few made like this. Note: There are two variations of this type of Lan-Cay bayonet. The earlier variation has smaller letters and this later variation with the large letters. The letter M and the 9 are also different. Which one do you have? Please study pictures carefully. This is an original Lan-Cay manufactured bayonet.
I have allso attached the images... I am dying to know just what he means with the words "This is an original Lan-Cay manufactured bayonet"? Is this an "Original" meaning you won't see another like it or "original" as it left LanCay in this configuration?

I wonder what the fastex date code is on it?
