You have any idea what something like that is worth?

A Viet Nam era AK-47 should be worth millions, since they haven't been
produced since about 1959.

Otherwise, if it ACTUALLY came from Viet Nam, it is likely a Chinese
Type 56 or a worn out Soviet AK-47 and it ain't worth much.



Yeah, the SOVIETS quit production of them in 1959, after producing
about 80, million of them, they made more then they could ever use. an/
or export. The Vietnamese could have used the Rusky, the Chinese or
any assortment made in soviet bloc countries.

The AK 47 is probably the most widely spread assault military rifle in
existence.

It's the 'bad guy' weapon of choice!
