I bought a M-9 and was told it was made by Buck. The markings on it are "US" on the left ricasso and "M-9 UTILITY" on the right ricasso. It has an "old style" scabbard with sharpening stone embedded in the scabbard. It fact, it is a dead ringer for the one listed as "M-9 Utility, another blade for commercial sale before the military issues became available." on this link:

What have I got and what is the general value. It is in excellent condition.

Much thanks!

Iam no expert but i think your bayonet is made by LANCAY , it was made for the commercial market, the value is around $120 - 170 depending on the colour, green being the most common, hope this helps and enjoy your bayonet.

By the way, the blade was black, not bright finish, smooth, not rough. Color was OD, not some "puke" green color.
