Nice find! The engraving must have been done by the Dutch after receiving the bayonets from Buck. If it had been done at Buck I'm sure Joe Houser would have remembered. Other than the engraving it appears to be a standard Buck commercial bayonet.
Since my original posting in 2005 I have acquired one of the Lan-Cay replacement bayonets. It is a standard fuller-less blade with standard Lan-Cay markings. The scabbards were modified to have the crossover strap like the original Phrobis/Buck bayonets and Lan-Cay custom made pouches for the front of the scabbards.
