Thanks for the kind words guys. It was fun to put together. The Mak is awsome. It is swung, with the curved part of the handle pointing rearward. The cutting edge is on the inside of the blade curve. After you handle one, it feels pretty good in your hands. Early on, during the US involvement in SEA, a hodge-podge of weapons could be encountered. Many locally produced. After 1966, a steady stream of Chi-com, and European Com-bloc weapons were available. However, Anything, and everything was found in weapons caches till 1975. I've heard several accounts, of helicopters returning, riddled with crossbow arrows.
