I was told that it must be attached to the ops vest and tied to the leg with the strap.


Here are some pics I found on the net of a simmular system:

Hey Sig, That looks like Meuts bayo carrier

More info on the Dutch M9 can be found at the website below.

Hello jdeleur,

Nice to see you also here on this forum.
You're right the three pics of the bayo carrier are indeed Meuts.
He has started a great website about dutch bayonets.
(and you're right, the pics of the Dutch M9 on his site are mine)

After a period of negotiation, the Dutch agreed to a modified PI bayonet. Lan-Cay had to adapt their standard scabbards to include a recessed stone, a full back webbing to cover the stone and a two strap retaining system like the original Buck M9 bayonets. All of this scabbard modification had to be done by hand. They also insisted on the web pouch. The scabbard body being used was the standard Lan-Cay PI scabbard so it did not have the loops at the side of the body. Instead, the straps just wrapped around the scabbard body above the bumped out hand stop. The Dutch order was for 150 bayonets.

I believe I probably found one of these Lan-Cay modified scabbards for the Dutch Army.
Here is my last arrival from The Netherlands.
Unfortunately the scabbard is missing the pouch.
Fastex dated 2001.
Bill, can you compare this scabbard with the example you have?

The Lan-Cay replacement scabbard for the Dutch Diemaco contract is very interesting. I even decided to contact Lan-Cay about it. I received a post from Mr. Barry Brown the same day; having provided him the link to this thread so he could review the photographs. In effect, he stated Lan-Cay had provided a quantity of M9 components to Diemaco. However, the scabbard configuration pictured was not provided by them. It appears the components were sold to Diemaco, & the scabbards subsequently assembled to the desired configuration by the Dutch in order to approximate the first pattern M9 scabbard as supplied by Buck.
