The LANCAY lettering sure seem correct though. I waid to see what more advanced collectors think of this. Still a nice one to have GenCut or not.

Hello Colin,
I saw that auction too this morning.
There was probably a mistake in the description, as this is a standard fuller.
Yes, as you and Fabrizio pointed out this is probably one the the "rejected" General Cutlery blade.
We have already discussed the topic here and in a different topic I'm not able to find.
Conclusion is: even with a correct marked Fastex (1992) it is
usually impossible to tell if the bayonet is 100% genuine, as
the blade are the same even in the model that surfaced on the market back in 2003.
You just have to trust the seller.
Should, instead, the blade has minor defects, then there is a high chance it could be not genuine.
