SOLD CHINESE TYPE 54 TOKAREV VIETNAM BRINGBACK 1962 DATED

IN 95% CONDTION, WE HAVE A VIETNAM WAR VET BROUGHT BACK CHINESE TYPE 54 TOKAREV PISTOL. THIS EXAMPLE WAS PRODUCED IN 1962 WHICH IS A VERY HARD TO FIND YEAR. THE GRIPS ARE MADE OF WOOD. THE BRINGBACK PAPERS ARE LOST BUT THE STORY OF THIS GUNS CAPTURE IS HIGHLY INTERESTING IT WAS LAYING UNDER A DEAD VC WHO HAD BEEN MOULDERING IN THE JUNGLE FOR SOME TIME, THE GUY WHO BROUGHT IT BACK WAS ON HIS FIRST PATROL AND JUST BENT DOWN AND PULLED IT OUT FROM UNDER THE BODY BY THE LEATHER CORD WHICH IS STILL ATTACHED. WELL LUCKILY IT WAS NOT BOOBY TRAPPED BUT THAT EXTREMELY UNWISE ACT HAD CONSEQUENCES; THEY REST OF THE SQUAD BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF HIM AS HE COULD HAVE GOTTEN THEM ALL BLOWN UP. THIS WAS A LESSON LEARNED THE HARD WAY. YOU CAN SEE ON THE GUN WHERE IT LAID ON THE GROUND OR THE BODY FOR A WHILE THERE IS AREA OF SALTINESS ON THE SLIDE.
