Vietnam Relic Zippo Lighter C.1013
 
This is a period copy of a Zippo lighter. Not to be confused with today's cheap copies made for the tourists. This was made during the Vietnam war for selling to the GI's on the black market cheaper than they could buy from the PX.
The brass used in their manufacture often came from the empty artillery shells.
Almost every soldier in Vietnam had a Zippo because they were reliable.  It could run on a multitude of fuels like alcohol and gasoline filled from the truck fuel tanks whilst being dipped in on the end of a boot lace. Some even  kept salt in the bottom cavities of their Zippos, to replenish lost body salt. others were used to transmit signals or even to act as protection against enemy bullets.  The majority of combat soldiers rubbed back the chromed finish so it did not reflect light that would attract enemy attention on the battlefield
Zippos were also used in military operations, troopers would spray gasoline over enemy compounds and dwellings and set them alight with their trusty Zippo.
The Zippo lighter became the soldiers canvas on which Vietnamese craftsmen would engrave anything from pictures to phrases to express their feelings, which it is why it is estimated that there were over 200,000 original and locally made Zippos lighters in existence during the Vietnam War. It is no wonder the Vietnamese honestly thought they were government issue!

Vietnam Sandals Made From Truck Tyres C.1191
 
  Rubber tyre sandals were used extensively by the Viet Minh and Viet Cong during the war in Vietnam from the late 1940's until the fall of Saigon in 1979. In the face of equipment shortages the guerilla army of Vietnam turned to using old truck tyres as footwear and quickly saw the advantages of the resulting sandals compared to boots. The climate of jungle-Southeast Asia is harsh. During the war many American infantrymen suffered from "trench-foot" or fungal infections which resulted from wearing boots in the humid climate. Many looked with envy to the sandals worn by the enemy. Tragically, this footwear is also widely associated with the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime which ruled Cambodia from 1975 to 1979. Only the upper cadre of the Khmer Rouge wore these sandals and it was a sign of political power within the regime. They were seen as a good example of self-sufficiency and were very practical.
