I think Dennis has presented a reversed image of the rifle.

The quality of the footage in that youtube clip does not allow for positively matching that rifle to any rifle. I'm hoping someone has something closer to the first generation film to show. It appears to me that the 2nd segment of film is of a higher quality than the first, which is particularly bad.

Where, as in the TSBD or elsewhere

That would be from the 2nd segment of film. Look at the first segment from where Day leans down to where he hands the rifle to Fritz. At that point the segment ends, and a new piece of film begins with what you are looking at. So pre-splice.

Did you ask, or was there anything from Day regarding where he initialed the rifle? I know he changed his mind about the shells in the SN. He told Belin that he marked them onsite, but his story changed to later that evening back at Headquarters.

There is a short segment of film in this video. It starts with Day leaning down to pick up a rifle by the strap attached to the butt end of the stock. He immediately hands the rifle to Fritz, then that segment ends before another segment showing Day examining the rifle. Referring to the first segment only, do you see any indicators that positively determines that the rifle is a Carcano? If you do, can you please highlight them? Thanks

No-one else knows who and to what degree either. Well, by that I mean researchers. Key questions often have a dozen different answers. 60 years later and there's no CT consensus on the name a person that fired a weapon that hit Kennedy, Connally or Tippit. I'll give the perps credit though, the cover-up was, and is continuing to be, pretty damn good.

From the linked article: "A round was still in the gun's chamber, ready to fire, with two more bullets in the ammunition clip."

From one of your posts: Helen Markham said the killer looked at her and then started coming at her. Helen Markham testimony: Mr. BALL. Where do you work now? Mrs. MARKHAM. Eat Well Restaurant, 1404 Main Street, Dallas, Tex. Mr. BALL. Were you working there on November 22, 1963? Mrs. MARKHAM. I was. Crafard Exhibit 5226: Crafard would stay at the club and eat his meals at the Eat Well Cafe

From one of your posts re Acquila Clemons; Q What was he doing? A Ah, he was reloading it. And I see he was reloading his gun. Q And how would you describe that man? A Well, he was kind of chunky. He was kind of heavy, he wasn't a very big man. Q Was he tall or short? A He was kind of a short guy. Q Short and heavy? A Yes.

One cop at the scene reported that he saw McDonald's and Oswald's hand "on" the gun, and that when he heard the "snap" he wasn't sure which way the gun was pointing.

Reporter: The performer at Mr. Ruby's club said that he thought he saw Oswald there some days ago. White Hat Guy: I think he was mistaken. Reporter: This is a memory expert. White Hat Guy: hmm While I had a chuckle at that exchange, the serious question is why would White Hat Guy instantly dismiss the possibility of Oswald visiting a night club? Even though I don't believe it was Oswald at the club, its apparent to me that White Hat Guy was composed to quash any impression of a Ruby/Oswald connection as early as days after the event. The reporter was thinking the same with his "memory expert" retort. White Hat Guy went on to attack the performer saying he only thinks he's a memory expert. Job done.

The picture below is one I created a while back. Seems to show different sideburns. The one on the right is Friday night at the DPD with Basement Ruby's hat and strange eye shadow superimposed.

DeMohrenschildt had Michael and Ruth Paine over for dinner in the late 60s. They talked about their mutual friend.

Mr. RANKIN. Was there anything else close to the rifle that you recall? Mrs. OSWALD. Next to it there were some next to the rifle there were some suitcases and Ruth had some paper barrels in the garage where the kids used to play. Either there was never a rifle, or Marina was a thoughtless mother that did not care if there was a rifle on the ground near where her child, and Ruth's children played. BTW, try wrapping a small blanket around a rifle and see what it feels like when carried. It kinda feels like a rifle wrapped in a blanket.

I like this one. Marguerite Oswald: "The trouble started at the Paine house"

The crazy thing is the specific location of the agent. There's always been a mystery about why it took so long for the 6th floor sniper window to be discovered even though ground level witnesses pointed it out. Removing a body would certainly delay things. Or maybe Oliver was just a Nutty Professor.

A Bircher Professor heard that a Secret Service agent was found dead near the rifle on the 6th floor. Just when you thought you'd heard them all.

Bit of a giveaway that it was the right temple

The Z Film is like a Black Hole for witnesses. Many researchers dismiss witness statements in favour of the "seeing is believing" Z Film. Like the current conversation about what frame Connally was shot. Waste of time. Shanklin viewed the film before it was sent to Washington and made it clear that he could see the shot that hit Connally. Not so clear now.

That scenario, if just a co-incidence, would have been a great news story that weekend; "Cops toot horn outside Oswald residence as he fetched his pistol"

Connally said he did see the president. He said he saw the president slumped.

Re: Marina secret agent, spy, operative, sleeper; We can safely say that Hollywood's version of glamorous international spies is out the window. Marina was sent over with rotting teeth and had to borrow money for urgent dental treatment.

Hudson described one of them; Mr. HUDSON - Well there was a young fellow, oh, I would judge his age about in his late twenties. He said he had been looking for a place to park and he walked up there and he said he finally just taken a place over there in one of them parking lots, and he come on down there and said he worked over there on Industrial and me and him both just sat there first on those steps. Paul Landis (Secret Service) possibly described the other; The only person I recall seeing clearly was a Negro male in light green slacks and a beige colored shirt running from my left to right, up the slope, across a grassy section, along a sidewalk, towards some steps and what appeared to be a low stone wall . He was bent over while running and I started to point towards him
