I hand carried this Chicom Type 53 (See Attachments) back from Vietnam, while serving with The 4th Cavalry, 1st Infantry Division 1967-1968. The carbine has no matching numbers, the vietcong made due with what they had and replaced parts as needed. The T-53 is dated 1960, factory 26 and i made the capture during the 1st Tet offensive. Although copies, i have all paperwork including, American Embassy Export License, Provost Marshal Cleared for CONUS, DD603 Registration of War Trophy and DD603-1 War Trophy Registration Authorization. The originals were either lost or stollen in Florida and i have a police report to that effect. I hope this little bit of information is interesting reading to the sites members. Thanks A.M.Information
