Great info on M9's. They are both 'LanCay' type (no hyphen) without fullers
but still have a 'step' on the spine. The early sheath for my #2
is marked '92 and has four slots.........

Hi mates !
Received this GI issued LanCay, 1st series, (manufactured 1992 - 1994), day´s ago.
The blade is covered with cosmoline, the honing stone, sadly, is damaged, but, I don´t care ´bout that.
IMO, a very nice example of an MPBS M9, isn´t it ?
Cheers,
R.
Here´s another LAN-CAY
I´m not sure, is it (also) an "2nd Contract Product Improved M9.", manufactured from 1994 on ? ...
Interesting, the FASTEX -clip is dated November 2003 !
Thx. in advance,
R.

I was told, it´s a "Late First Contract Lancay production"by Reibert

Hi, mates, an old thread, but, a "new" bayonet I received today !
Received this LANCAY today.
It´s an early production, and, it´s still showin´ the fuller !
Looks to be in great condition Reibert

There´s sticky cosmoline, dust, but, I do like this piece of steel and plastic ! ...
Hello,
a beautiful piece.
You have an M9 from LanCay's first contract in 1992 for 52,000 units. According to the mark on the ricasso, it is self-production. So none of the rare variants with the General Cutlery blade. It's also not the version with the side fuller, of which only 350 were made.
Regards.
