Bill,
we all know numeronegi as a reputable and seriuos seller (I myself bought few M9s from him).
In the auction I linked above there was probably an error in the description, which I'm sure was made in good faith (and later corrected/relisted).
Problem is that if a buyer reads, in the ebay description, "The scabbard is dated 1992 and is a match for the bayonet" and "This bayonet is an original U.S. Army surplus production item that was never issued", he could think (if not careful about the marking and the missing saw) that the bayonet was from the legitimate "shallow fuller" lot.
Apologize for my english.
