Hi Rex,
I'd love to see some photos of your bayonet. Does it have a fullered blade? The first contract blades that didn't meet spec but were then later used DID have the step in the back edge of the blade in front of the muzzle ring. The first bayonets of the second contract were marked with the original "LanCay" marking. It was right around the time of the second contract that they changed over to the hyphenated name. If your blade does not have the step in the back edge of the blade I would guess that it doesn't have the fuller either. This would make it an early second contract blade.
