Field gear and inert weapons and ordnance have long been popular
items with militaria collectors. The Vietnam War by its very nature
offers an incredible range and variety of these items for the
interested collector. The North Vietnamese and their puppet troops
of the National Liberation Front (Viet Cong or VC) relied primarily
on communist allies (Russia, China, North Korea, Cuba and various
Eastern Bloc countries of the era) for their weapons and field
gear. For this reason, Vietnam represents a microcosm of gear from
all of this century's wars, dating back to World War I, as well as
a wide range of improvised weapons and equipment. Nowhere is this
more apparent than in the variety of hand grenades used by the
enemy, including Russian, Chinese, North Korean, Eastern European,
French, Japanese and even modified, captured U.S. grenades.
Although impossible to completely catalog the extreme variety of
weapons and field gear used by the PAVN and VC, author Edward
Emering has made a determined effort to present a wide overview of
the weapons and field gear used from the late-1950s through the
modern era. He has been aided in his goal by obtaining access to
the world class collection of the National Vietnam Veterans Art
Museum, located in Chicago, Illinois and by material from a number
of extensive private collections. This book will help both the
serious collector as well as those individuals interested in
acquiring only a token piece of history to avoid potentially costly
mistakes. A value guide is included.
