Also included is a "propaganda" souvenir book. Consignor states book was captured w/ pistol in July 1967 in Dak To. The pistol belonged to Major Tang Huu Nguyen. Consignor further states that a Marine intelligence officer at Kh Sanh said that he had seen similar books and that his opinion was that they were gifts, from party officials, to encourage NVA officers to extoll the troops, using the example of the Vietnamese sacrifice at Dien Bien Phu. Consignor further states "In 1983 I sent the book, some photographs, letters and some military documents to the army unit that evaluated the material and then sent it to Viet Nam to be returned, whenever possible, to the families of the slain NVA soldiers. In 2007 the enclosed book was returned to me. The book was modified significantly. For example, the flyleaf that was covered with indecipherable Vietnamese handwriting has been removed; at the back of the book some photos of the return of US prisoners of war and the evacuation of the US embassy in Sai Gon and some color photos have been added. The most curious additions, however, are numerous postage stamps commemorating both the anniversary of the battle of Dien Bien Phu and the heroic activities of the victorious Viet Minh." CONDITION: very good grips. Metal has 90% blue w/ light wear, handling marks & scratches. Notable scratch around pin retaining clip on right side & slide latch on left side.
