Recently I was able to purchase and original which was all correct. I will try to post them side by side if I can borrow my wifes' better digital camera so maybe you can see them together so that you can see the comparison...By the way yours' looks pretty good compared to the one I have. The only reason I bought it was I didn't think I would ever come across another for my collection...

I would like to thank Bill for the clarification and Rex for his answer.
In the picture of my bayonet the word "A" of USA is also not well stamped...seems we got the same "deal"
I would love to see pictures of yours genuine Gen. Cutlery and compare them to what I have.
I little bit off topic about "taking pictures of our loved M9s".
I use a compact camera (canon) in full auto, but while taking pictures I follow some advices that Ken (the site owner) gave me some time ago, and I'm quite happy with the results:
1) I always take pictures OUTSIDE, when there are coulds and the sky is "grey"-no sun. This way, at around 1 p.m. o' clock, there will be enough light to take good pictures, there will not be shadows on the bayonet, and (most important) the flash will be off.
2) When I want to take a picture of the markings on the blade (or the bayonet pommell) I select the camera's "macro" option: this way what is in the middle of the pictures will always be focused and very detailed.
Follow these two rules and you can't go wrong....
