It's variant of Soviet TT-33 Tokarev, maybe Chinese Type54 or M20 (version of the Type 54 made without factory markings to conceal the weapon's origins). Many of these were provided to North Vietnamese forces during the Vietnam War.

Forgive me, I said that because of the handle's appearance. Perhaps it's an older version with handles like in TT-33 and its Chinese versions, because the current K-14 has such a look.
Thanks for the detailed picture with the differences between Chinese Type54 and the Vietnamese K-14. I learn something new every day.

The mountains and rivers that carved the southern empire, dwelled by the Southern Emperor.
Its sovereignty is of nature's will and is allotted in script from the heaven.
What gives these invaders the right to trespass it,
They shall, in doing that, see themselves be defeated and shamed!
...To whom are hard tasks assigned. If anyone chooses easy ones?
Anyone spent a youthful time. And used to think of his life!... (Song: A life A forest)
