Found this picture while making the new signature page header at my other site. It's from the spotlight album of the month. This soldier with his just captured 91/44 was photographed in the Delta of Vietnam in 1969 by a guy named Tim Miller, Delta Company 6/31st. Maybe Niner Delta knew him. They were both in the same company, although Niner Delta may have gone home before him by at least a few months or maybe he knows the guy in the picture..
M,/44

I'll bet a few went home with the 9th ID.

And...no big Century import marks on it anywhere.

Type 53 or Russ M44 ?
I can tell the mud is Vietnamese.
Looks to be 4th Corps area mud...

Taosbob, it was sure enough some place south of Saigon. Just how far I don't know. And it may have been Chinese but then a again it could have been Russian too as they were a more likely supplier. As you say... kind of hard to tell through the mud that it's even a carbine. When I first just glanced at it I thought it was a 91/30 with a bayonet on it.
