Many years ago, I purchased 150 South Vietnam ID cards directly from a source in Vietnam. These are for males, females of all ages issued during the war.
These were cards required for all South Vietnamese citizens to carry while the the war was going on... Of course, after Saigon fell, South Vietnam ceased to exist and all South Vietnamese "citizens" had their ID's taken by the NVA and new communist ID's issued. These previous ID's were apparently stored and then when the internet became a thing, a few thousand of these previous ID cards made it out of the country.
There are a few for sale on Ebay for $20 to $25 each plus tax and shipping...These would make great gunshow sellers for a dealer and display nicely with anything Vietnam related. I will take $8 each if you take all 150 of the cards. With some exposure, I would imagine a dealer could triple their money on these retail. These are all different and have Vietnamese citizens pictures, thumbprints, birthday and all vital information for ID from any soldier that asked to see it.
Possible partial trade would be for a Ruger P89 stainless, a Springfield stainless 9mm "Range Officer", etc.
