LAN-CAY USMC Prototype?

I just bought what is purported to be a prototype version of the M9 on eBay. The seller had the following description and photo in his listing:

"PROTOTYPE M-9 FIGHTING KNIFE AND SHEATH. BLADE AND SHEATH "LAN - CAY" marked. USMC GLOBE, ANCHOR AND EAGLE ON REVERSE SIDE OF BLADE. GRIP IS BULGED PROTOTYPE. SHEATH HAS MOLLY-GEAR HOOKUP AND LANYARD. PICTURE SHOWS BACK AND FRONT. ONE SHEATH ONLY WITH ITEM. NOT ADOPTED BY THE CORPS."



Was this knife submitted to the USMC as a prototype, or is it just a commercial version meant for the civilian market like the many different KaBars? I see that unnaturalone currently has a M9 listed on eBay that he is describing as a USMC MOLLE II M-9 Bayonet in black. He does not mention any inscription on the right side of the blade. Is this the same knife I bought?
