3rd generation Buck with "S" marking

[Carlo]

Take a look at this auction
http://www.ebay.com/itm/PHROBIS-III-...item1e68b03c34
Apart from the "australian scabbard" note the "S" marking on the blade.
What is very interesting is that the bayonet is not a second generation, like shown here (many links inside).

I think it is for me the first time I see the "S" stamp on a military contract 3rd generation M9

Auction closed with buy it now ....
I think the buyer is the same canadian collector who bought that LanCay shallow fuller for less than $ 100, as discussed here

Ehe ehe, Fabrizio I think you are right.
But I also think that, in regard of this auction, all the bidders know exactly what it is.
The seller, also, honestly says in the item description that it is "Not the standard USGI issue M9 Bayonet"

Well, as I expected, all sorts of "Frankenstein" Lancay M9s are now starting to appear on sites like Ebay. Both bayonets & parts from the now defunct company have found their way to M9 entrepreneurs, whom have assembled them into heretofore unknown variations. Caveat Emptor!
