Would have to see some serious provenance on this one. Oh crazy days.

Using the logic in the ad, they'd float it downriver towards American soldiers. So then what? The soldiers would pull the little red bead to blow themselves up?
For $400 I'll sell you the deed to the Panama Canal.
Life is full of choices...

Nothing rare and nothing has to do with the Viet Cong either..
Just a modern German `Thunderflash`. http://www.lexpev.nl/grenades/europe/germany/simulatorbodensprengpunktdm12dm22.html
Wonder who pays the 400 for it beleiving the Viet Cong story!

May be someone should send the link to the ebayer concerened. Didn't know the Vietnam war still continued and extended to Germany.

At least the war became friendlier with throwing fire crackers to each other!

I also sent him the link to Lex's site.
Here is his reply:
"Thanks for the link. Any idea of what it is worth or if it could have been used in Vietnam supplied by East germany?"

I think HE got bamboozled.

Yes, his hope for the big money won't die. Sure East-Germany supplied those after they invaded West-Germany, captured this stuff there and then supplied it to the VC. All that back before 1970. Seems we all missed some history lessons.

This is a DM12 simulator.
