no he has that one, he wants the vintage original.

Good luck - they're exceptionally rare, due to the fact that they were made to be distributed by soldiers in the field.  JMRock made mention of the Viet Cong being superstitious of them, but it was actually more myth than fact.  Soldiers believed it because it helped their morale in a war that was pretty unpopular and all too dangerous.
