MONTAGNARD / HMONG / TRIBAL

MONTAGNARD / HMONG / TRIBAL

MONTAGNARD MADE AND CARRIED MACE

Documented, yard special forces item, special forces MAC V SOG vet traded a boonie hat to one of his yards for this after he saw the yard swinging it around in camp.
Most unique weapon I have from the war, the item on the end is an elephant vertebra
See the documentation letter in the Special Forces MAC V SOG section

THIS IS THE WAR TIME FLAG OF THE MONTAGNARD AND ETHIC TRIBAL PEOPLE OF VIETNAM

This is only one of two know brought back, this is not new and was brought back by a special forces advisor to the yards. The yards attached to MAC V SOG carried a walk on water card with this flag on the opposite side of with name, rank, and id. This item came from Jason Hardy at the dog tag

Flag is made of heavy material the center is machine embroidered

MATCH PAIR OF HMONG PISTOLS

I have several sets of these, brought back by a CIA agent and some special forces vets with white star. Great for tribal made in the jungle. These were made as presentation pieces. I would think since I have several sets. The powder horn is leather, rare item, and is in very good condition

THIS IS MY MONTAGNARD, HMONG, AND TRIBAL ITEMS BROUGHT BACK DURING THE VIETNAM WAR

Many of the HMONG Items came home in the early 60' from Laos, brought home by a CIA operative during the white star period.
The most unusual items are the original musical instruments and the iron wood carved montgnard funeral figure, extremely rare and very difficult to bring back to this country.
If you have any questions or would like to ask a questions on these items please do contact me

 VERY SPECIAL GROUP OF ITEMS FROM A PERSON THAT WAS IN LAOS IN THE 1960'S. ALL ITEMS ARE FROM SAME PERSON THAT BROUGHT THEM BACK

He stated to me that he was in LAOS but he could not tell me what he did there. They are all very original guns, with powder horns and shot pouch's the one looks to be a shot gun, the top one is the longest barrel I have ever seen. The pictures are from the same person and were taken during his time in LAOS / these items are truly a treasure from the period and I am thrilled to have them in my south East Asia hill tribe collection. Thank you Bob
