The included U.S. Army Form DD603 identifies the carbine as a "Chicom 56 7.62" with serial number 11371316 as captured by Sp.5 Raymond K. Blessing in the Republic of Vietnam in 1971. The documents also include a war trophy registration form, Vietnamese firearms export license, and the signed and notarized account of how Blessing acquired the carbine. Standard post front and tangent rear sights, folding spike bayonet, factory "26" marking on the left side of the receiver, hardwood handguard and buttstock with a steel trapdoor buttplate. With leather sling.

Very good. 30% original blue finish remains overall with surface pitting throughout, a mostly dark brown patina, and brown oxidation. The stock is fine with dings and chips, handling marks overall, and a dark stained appearance. Mechanically excellent. A solid representative example of a U.S.G.I. captured Vietnam War bring back carbine
