The included capture papers confirm the model, serial number, caliber, and December 9, 1970, date of registration as a war trophy to a Sgt. Stephen Poole with MACV Advance Team 71. Standard hooded post front and tangent rear sights with the "triangle/26" factory marking on the left side of the receiver followed by three Chinese characters and the serial number. The trigger guard and magazine are numbered to the receiver, and the bolt does not match. Fitted with a folding blade bayonet. Mounted with a hardwood pistol grip stock and vented handguard with grasping grooves and a flat steel buttplate with trapdoor containing a cleaning kit.

Very good with 30% original blue finish, handling marks, areas of thin gray patina, areas of scattered mild pitting, and clear markings. The wood has been revarnished and displays handling marks, small dings, and a 2 inch blemish on the right side of the buttstock. Mechanically excellent. Documented Vietnam War trophies are quite scarce and are growing in collector popularity!
