LanCay Bayonets

[porterkids]

As you know, with a 3/16" Allen wrench you can have any color bayonet you want. To the best of my knowledge, the first contract LanCay bayonets were only made in OD. I do have some pieces with first contract fuller blades that were assembled at a later date with black components.

As far as I have seen the early lancays only were in the od color..

Appreciate the info folks! Wasn't wanting one in anything other than OD just wanted to know what LanCay offered at the time.

porterkids: Your pic is an inspiration. I also try avoid the duplicates and only have a couple dupes in 1st contract no/fuller and 2nd contract bayos. Sometimes it just too hard to pass up a good deal. I figure if nothing else they are good trading stock.

I too have a bunch of extras, of both first and second contract Lancays that I keep around. Of course you can never have enough.. I even have a few m-11's in my collection

Hello everyone, As most of you pro's know, I'm new to this forum, I have a question for you all, I see in the e-bay auction, item # 320393467488 LanCay bayonet with the fuller, can anyone tell me what contract this bayonet is and the year it was interduced to the military, also is this a good bayonet to add to my collection or do you think theres better out there and perhaps I should pass on bidding on it?, I'm not a big collector, don't have alot of $$$ for that, an being a disabled Nam vet, most of you know we don't get paid alot, but I do have the following Phrobis M9's...Chervron, flat top, early 3 line that say's M9 Phrobis lll USA, M9, Phrobis lll USA Pat. Pend, M9 Phrobis/buck+, M9 A1 Phrobis Int'l desert storm Commemorative, M9 Ontario knife co. USA Operation Iraqi freedom ( both Marine and Army)
And a M9 Ontario USSOCOM ( global war on Terrorism) and a few Lan-Cay's, such as LanCay with the step in the blade, improved 3rd marking, 4th markings 1996, but I know I also need the LanCays with the fullers in them both short and deep and long and shallow, and the LanCay without the step in the blade, I understand I have only scratched the surface of collecting, but everyone has to start somewheres right?...besides the question I asked above, can anyone tell me other Phrobis that are a must to have?, I understand there are tons of proto types to get, but for now I'm just getting the basic ones, that I can hand down to my Son who is also an Iraq war veteran....thanks everyone and I hope I? haven't bored you all to much, maybe atlease made ya smile abit...Guy
