Hi Fred, thanks for your answer!
Looking forward to see the pictures of your purchase.
Back to the off-spec topic, take a look at these topics:
The first one (quite old) is from forum user Rexmeyer (look for the pictures on the post #4)

The second one is from Mister Moon (just follow the first link in the first topic, the bayonet to look for is on the right on the 4th and 5th pictures)

As you can see, in all the pictures the "off-spec" LanCay (with correct marking, first style blade, black finish) does not have the fuller.
So came my question.
