Default Additions to the Vietnam bring back rack -

May I present a few additions to the rack – Vietnam bring back –

The Russian and the 3rd Marine Div are both originally from the Smolenski collection – He parted them out in the mid 90s –

A fellow collector had identified them to me –


Russian – US Air force office of Air attaché - OUSRMA – Laos –

Refurbed all matching – Packed with cosmo -











Chinese – Company E 2nd Battalion 3rd Marinve Div. –










Chinese – 1st Air Cav B Co. 228th ASHB -

Thanks - Am always happy when other collectors think of me and point out things for me -

Really neat to see the different conditions of these -

I am really happy with the Russian - Wonder how he came about the SKS...

Not sure but my guess is that it came from some sort of a stores area, as I have seen another one brought back in the same timeframe by a different vet from the same unit.

Saigon always sets the bar for these lovely VN bringbacks. I bet many GI's developed an affinity for these as reliable rifles that packed a lot of punch. In some cases, it may have been preferable to the early M-16's and I wouldn't be surprised if some of these captured Simonovs didn't go out on occasional American patrols.
