I'm sure that any, and every form of chopping tool was used during the conflict(s). Everything from indigenious pieces, to commetial, and military machetes. I would have a pair of "Ho Chi Mihn" sandles, if I could find some of REAL ones. They, like many other pieces of equipment, have been made since the war. The pistol in question, is a break open single shot, of about .44 caliber. The receiver, is made of thick brass plates, riveted together. Then, cut and ground to the desired shape. It originally had a lanyard ring in the butt. Very well made, and most likely copied from a nineteenth century shotgun action.
