chils123 Posted March 24, 2019 Share #1 Posted March 24, 2019 I've always wanted an example of a Vietnam bringback SKS with the correct paperwork, so I was happy to pick this example up.Looks like a 1967 dated Type 56, all matching and in really good condition overall. Didn't get a photo of the bolt, but that also matched. I'd imagine one this nice came out of a cache or something, and was presented to the Colonel? Came with several sets of paperwork. There are 4 copies of the Temporary Export license and 3 different ones of the DD-603 form. Not sure if that's normal or not, but they all look very old and correct as far as I can tell. I didn't include all 4 copies of the export form.From what I've found on the vet, he served 30 years in the Army, from World War II through Vietnam, and passed away in 2009. I found, through searching online, that an audio exit interview exists for Colonel Sullivan, describing his time in Vietnam. I has sent an email to request s copy of this.VNIT-502: Long Binh Post (Prov)Exit interview conducted 18 November 1969 with COL Lloyd S. Sullivan, Commander, Long Binh Post. Discusses base defense, staff organization, civic action and security at Long Binh. Interview by 16th MHD. (Digital Audio File, ReeltR, cassette, interview with COL Lloyd S. Sullivan transcribed 23 pages) Please share your thoughts on this set. Thank you! Link to post Share on other sites

USCapturephotos Posted March 24, 2019 Share #3 Posted March 24, 2019 Hope you can get those recordings. Last one of those I saw w papers sold at a local auction from a Special Forces vet. It went way over my budget to an online buyer I heard. Maybe next time...congrats on yours though! Paul Link to post Share on other sites

atb Posted March 25, 2019 Share #8 Posted March 25, 2019 Weird. The colonel's home address on the Form 603-1 is where I used to live when stationed at Cameron Station, VA. The Army leased apartments there since there was no housing on base. Link to post Share on other sites
