Evan Marshall Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) Done some searching but am in the middle of another book project. I understand why they could not get any rifling results as the gun was originally made in .38 S&W and then the cylinders were bored out to hold .38 Special rounds to make them more marketable. The .38 S&W had a slightly larger bore than the .38 Special so the bullets kind of just skittered down the bore. The cases, however, would bare firing pin marks that would have been distinctive and I'm sure if they did they would have shouted it from the roof tops. Sor my question. Is there any evidence they attempted to match the firing pin indentations? Edited June 15, 2018 by Evan Marshall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Josephs Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) http://www.whokilledjfk.net/tippit.htm About halfway down the page - conclusion... $4 was struck by a different pin that 1,2, or 3... https://statick2k-5f2f.kxcdn.com/images/pdf/JosephsPistol.pdf I discuss and show how the pistol and hulls in evidence were not the ones brought in my Bentley or Hill...

Evan Marshall Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 Thanks-the honesty in this case is surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Josephs Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 The Evidence IS the Conspiracy.... for if the evidence was representative of the crime, an honest government could show a fairly coordinated plan was in place. Arrested>Transported>searched>interviewed>searched again and NOW we find 5 shells which give me the impression they were stored in a police belt... but I'm only guessing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Marshall Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 One point the barrel was not rechambered though I believe they were cut back from 4" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Josephs Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) The other salient point I believe is that once again the item ordered a ".38 St. W. 2" Bbl 29.95" is not the same as the item shipped a "S & W .38 Special 2" Commando 39.95" is listed 4 lines up on the Seaport coupon and is what's printed on the Seaport Traders receipt (Michaelis 2) page 5 of my essay Edited June 15, 2018 by David Josephs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I would like to see a photo of the grip but on the inside and see the so called initials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Marshall Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 IIRC, Colt made a 4" .38 Special called the Commando, so think this was a name attached by the seller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can find, there are no images of the actual initials themselves... just that this pistol would have been covered in them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 The gun that was tossed on Oswald...... I hope to go to NARA and a few other places later this year or next and want to see the inside of that grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Marshall Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 When I worked CSI as a police officer, we were instructed to put our initials on the gun not on something that could be removed easily. This was in the early 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
