It's possible. Though, i would be thinking the other way around. Instead of checking how many photogs were killed/captured in Vietnam, i would look at how many photographers were actually in Vietnam covering the war. I am sure there is at least one other person with the initials SF and i am sure there were quite a few Nikon's in theatre. I would find it somewhat impossible to believe that non of the photogs may have lost their gear or had it stolen. Until the guy gets concrete proof, all he has is a Nikon F camera that he bought off of ebay, which is nothing special at all. Anybody with common sense and expertise in this sort of thing, is not going to give this guy a dollar more then what he paid for it. It's just another Nikon F camera.
