1993 M9 LanCay USA Marked Blade
The features on this 1993 M9 LanCay bayonet are: The cutter plate is unmarked, the screw drive is on the side. The buckle is dated 93. The scabbard has LANCAY all large letters. The stone is present on the back. Four loop scabbard. Early unmarked small pommel. The blade cutting edge is hollow ground. Blade has a blasted gray finish and the step by the handguard. The blade and actual bayonet is similar in the 1992 dated one. The scabbard cutter plate appears to be the differance and the buckle date. I have a couple of the 1992 still in the silver military 1992 dated packages. These do not have the blood groove either,and have the cutter plate with the early screw driver on the tip. Hope this helps.
