    Hello, a friend of mine has this item and we are not sure if it was from the Vietnam War or WWII. I would appreciate if someone can let us know more about this. It is complete except for the battery. Thank you in advance (alecova2012 at yahoo)

      Thank you dav2no1 I will check those links. I saw some on eBay but some say it´s from Vietnam, others say it´s from WWII, others just mention it´s from the 1950s.
