tw5270 Posted October 24, 2014 Share #1 Posted October 24, 2014 This was in a duffle bag full of netting and old field jackets I got in a storage locker. All of the other items were original 60's to 70's pieces but this feels wrong to me. I know that Peter LaGana made just under 4k hawks for forces during Vietnam but I believe those are all painted green and had a straight handle. This one has "US Special Forces" on the case and that screams repro to me but I thought I should ask the experts here for some advice. Can anyone identify this? My google-fu is strong but I cannot find one that matches. This one has the same sheath but a different handle- http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vietnam-era-type-tomahawk-with-belt-sheath-EXC-cond-/321556767325?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ade46e25d This one also looks similar but is black and the head looks bigger- http://www.ebay.com/itm/US-Special-Forces-Vietnam-Tomahawk-/301244103293?pt=Collectible_Knives&hash=item46238c3a7d&nma=true&si=TWjvTueMVr5retIRH6Ch%252BiusrzM%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 After reading this I am sure it is a repro but cannot seem to find by who or when - http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/186012-vietnam-lagana-tomahawk-question/ So... any words of wisdom?
