Rex made a very good point here!
Due to the way the M9 bayonet is designed (modular construction) and apart from few exceptions (like the USMC 1993) you will never be 100% sure that some parts of an M9 were not changed.
Don't get me wrong, please.
I'm sure this clear LanCay is legitimate, but this is something I had been thinking for some time.
As you know I have one of the General Cutlery LANCAY from 2003.
What happens if I changed the pommell with an un-marked one, used the correct scabbard, cutter plate and 1992 Fastex?
Nobody will be able to tell the difference with a legitimate one.
At the end, you trust the seller.
