Since the Vietnam War was fought by WWII veterans, these former WWII Lieutenants, Captains, Majors, etc. were now Colonels and Generals; and they maintained their WWII traditions of allowing GIs to return home with "war souvenirs." US servicemen were allowed to bring home war souvenirs such as the SKS rifle and the K54 pistol; however, the most common war souvenirs brought home were NVA pith helmets and belt buckles, as the firearms (SKS & K54) were more often than not picked up pretty fast on the battlefield, leaving pretty much just NVA helmets and bodies with their associated uniforms (belts, canteens, and the belt buckle).
Fully automatic weapons such as the RPDs (drum fed machinegun) and AK47s had to be turned in to the S-2 (Intelligence). All captured US weapons (and there were a lot them) such as .45s/M14s/M1s/M1 carbines/and even some old '03 bolt action Springfields COULD NOT be brought home as a war souvenir. Those to had to be turned in to the "2".
