Today i contacted one of my friends who works at the FN. I hope that he will find some information about this model.

These have been around on the commercail market in the US for about ten years. They are not all that common but normally sell in the $125-150 range. I had a few several years ago that appeared to have been issued. They were in US M8A1 scabbards with metal tips and had numbers hand etched on the blade with an electric pencil.

I have a book, I think the title is "The World's Armys" that has a photo of Belgian paratrooppers on parade with FNCs that have this bayonet mounted on them.

Lee, you didn't make mention, what did you pay for it? If you're going to sell it please be sure to post it on this forum's For Sale page, it's free.

My friend, from the FN Belgium Cie, said to me that this model was not rare. FN makes this model since the 80s.
He did not find information about this bayonet FN, dating before 1980, because in this time that was not necessarily computerized.
