This is an authentic Vietnamese Bow and arrows and a Vintage Coolie hat. The Coolie hat has hidden writings within the hat with the year 1968 and illuminates when put under a light. Does this have any value like a museum piece or is it tourist memorabillia?
My father acquired the bow and arrows, from a little Vietnamese boy of about 12. My father gave him his jacket because the boy admired it so much. The very next day this boy gave my father his bow and arrows as a gesture of thanks for the jacket. The Coolie hat came from one of the Hoochie maids that cleaned up houses. It has Vietnamese writing and the year 1968.
These writing show up when put under light!
It's a Montagnard crossbow or a copy there of. The Montagnards lived in the mountains of Vietnam and were know to be tough fighters. The crossbows were used for small game and rumored to be poisoned for larger game.
