Hi Colin,
yes I saw a lot of Lan-Cay M9s which were released for the commercial market and are not original army issued.
Just look, for example, at this auction
http://cgi.ebay.com/Rare-Fuller-Blad...item2561ca855a.
I can't see from the pictures, but the fuller seems even the shallow one.
Of course the marking Lan-Cay is not correct.
Basically all the M9s with bright blade marked as "Lan-Cay", instead of "LanCay", are not USGI.
