The lighters are nice. I have at least 8 or 10 of them - 2 that I brought home myself (I had new Zippos engraved in Nha Trang).
I question what the source is for the 2 other pieces - WHY is part of the engraving done in English if they are north Vietnam items - which they must be since they are supposed to be part of a shot down US plane???

I was wondering that myself. Post-war tourist market souvenirs?

hi guys ,
thx also for your comments , i have also my doubts about these two trenchart items from vietnam . i think they were made post-war and my theory , they came as presents or gifts to east germany . the first piece with the woman ( vietnamese text below means...partisan woman ) looks authentic for me , the "woman" has the similar colour like the military planes have had .
maybe these are tourist market ware , but they are made in exellent kind of art , over the average as the zippo fakes , which u can find on every vietnamese marktet . therefore i have my doubts . my question is again , if anyone know similar items of this kind .
cheers t.

hi ,
got a new haircomb , described with vietnamese letters....sth like ...made by 4000th plane shot down over vietnam republic.
a collector friend told me that he knows that kind of art in east germany before 1981. the origin is saved :O)
i think they came as presents or sold for a donation (with propaganda like my haircomb).
cheers t.
