vietnmese militaria?

[rory]

Hello i was just searching the forum for the viet cong or vietnam section? maybe its just my ignorance and i just cant see it?

I just wanted to compare this medal/decoration i have in my collection and cant see much on the subject.

So is there a big interest in this subject or is it just lack of items?

this item i have is very thin/light cheapy made i suppose

lack of interest has answered my question lol

Are they rare? i've never seen or heard about that award before.

There isn't a dedicated Vietnam section although folks do sometimes post stuff from that era-mostly a WW1-2 forum.

not got a clue Gunny? I couldnt see anything on the net about them. but i cant see it being too common as the us didnt have many tanks there?

[lithgow]

The US had plenty of armour in Vietnam as well as the ARVN-was used for infantry support and convoy escort throughout the war and country except the highlands-rarely ever met hostile enemy equivalents until the very end of the war but obviously there were anti tank teams amongst the NVA and VC.

PM. Chu linh chi. He is in Vietnam and He might know. He may be out on a dig now so it might take a while for him to respond. It may be an ARVIN Award????Just an Idea.

Nope; I may be mistaken. The star looks NVA. I am no expert on these. Just a guess.
It is still an interesting period in History.
