Somewhere I read the number of this variant produced to fulfill the quota was 1060. I have two examples, and both came from Howard as well. One has the "embellished" USMC scabbard like Carlo posted. Regarding LanCay, last I heard their material was sold off, and the industrial tooling remains to be liquidated. One wonders what will become of the LanCay factory bayonet collection. Perhaps it will be retained & ultimately auctioned off by the heirs (if it hasn't been sold already)...
