Early on, the Viet Minh, and Viet Cong, were pretty much dependent on French colonial and left over WWII weapons. The steady supply of Communist weapons didn't start till the early .60s. The design of the latch on the pistol, looks borrowed from the Webley.

So do you have a model 1873 MAS 11mm revolver in your stash ?
Those must have been fairly plentiful early on in the conflict . |

No Rick, but I have owned a few. Wasn't collecting V.C. when I had them. Maybe now, I have an excuse to keep one! They are really cool revolvers. In fact, a friend just picked one up. An officer's model. Maybe I can trade him out it, at the show this weekend.
