Woodwork find two MAS m1936 bringbacks Vietnam with bringback papers

[rajko84]

I got these two this week. This is the first time I got MAS36 with bringback papers. Not something you see everyday, especially from Vietnam. Both rifles have all parts matching except bolts and magazine covers. Another interesting part is the tiger stripe covers that he brought rifles in.
Thank you for looking.

Nice bring backs, the tiger stripe bags are great, and as valuable to the set as the rifles themselves - pretty special, in country made items.
I usually zip-lock the papers - they can break down badly depending on the environment they've been in.

Believe Jose F Jimenez was a MOH winner in Vietnam -
so close, but that middle initial.

Vietnam was part of French colony, and they fought French much before they fought Americans.
