LanCay bayonet
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
