I was looking at a sale bill for an auction that listed an AK-47 drum magazine, claiming Vietnam war history. Truth or BS? Did they exist, who would have made it.
Also listed an SKS bandolier as Vietnam War, "rare". I have Chinese Mil surp SKS bandoliers that were plentiful in the 80's, probably still are. Since a lot of Vietnam supplies came from China, I figure could just one of those. This auctioneer is kinda creative in his descriptions and histories.
I doubt the credibility as "bring backs".
