The rifle, KJ, is a 6. 5 millimeter Mannlicher-Carcano Italian military rifle Model 91/38. Test bullets were fired from this rifle for comparison with specimens Q1, Q2 and Q3. As a result, sal, Q2 and Q3 were identified as having been fired from the submitted rifle.

Specimens Q6 and Q7 are G. 5 millimeter rvfannlicher-Carcano cartridge cases. They were manufactured by the Western Cartridge Company, East Alton, Illinois, as was the d. 5 milltrueter 7.12.tuiltcher-

0 Carcano cartridge, Q8.

Test cartridge. eases obtained from the submitted rifle were compared with specimens Qd and Q7. As a result, specimens Q6 and Q7 were identified as having been fired in this rifle. The bullet, Q13, from

•-) Officer Tippett, is a . 38 Special copper-coated lead bullet. Q13 weighs 156.6 grains and possesses the physical characteristics of 153 grain

0 Western-Winchester revolver bullets. The surface of Q13 is so badly Ll mutilated that there are not sufficient individual microscopic characteris-

tics present for identification purposes. It was determined, however, that the .33 Special Smith and Wesson revolver, K3, is among those weapons which produce general rifling impressions of the type found on Q13.

PG The lead metal of Q4 -1(1 Q3, 73, Q14 and Q15 is similes to the

lead of the core of the bullet fragment, Q2.

A small tuft of textile iii.;-eze was found adhering to a jagged area on the left side of the metal butt plate on the KI gun. Included in this tuft of fibers were gray-black, dark blue and orange-yellow cotton fibers which match in microscopic characteristics the gray-black, dark blue and orange-yellow cotton fiberS composing the Qll shirt of the suspect. These

• fibers could have originated from this shirt-

A single brown viscose fiber and several light green cotton fibers were found adhering to the Q10 paper bag. These fibers match in microscopic characteristics the broom viscose fibers and light green cotton fibers present in the composition of the Q12 blanket and could have originated from this blanket.

Ist Is pointed out, however, that fibers do not exhibit sufficient individual microscopic characteristics to be positively identified as originating from a particular source to the exclusion .of all others.

No fibers were found on the K.1 gun that could be associated with the Q12 blanket and no fibers were found on the Q10 paper bag that could be associated with the Q11 shirt. L.)

Reference copy, JFK Collection: The debris, including foreign textile fibers and hairs, removed

from tie Q12 blanket and Qll shirt has been placed In pillboxes for possible future comparisons. These pillboxes and the glass microscope slides containing fibers removed from K1 and Q10 are being temporarlly retained in the Laboratory for possible future comparisons with additional items of the suspect's clothing should they be recovered.

The Q12 blanket has been foldecrdouble and one corner has been folded in and pinned with a safety pin. A length of white cotton cord has been tied around this corner giving it a triangular-shaped appearance as if it had once contained a lung object.

The paper of the wrapping and the tape, QI0, were found to have the same observable physical characteristics as the known wrapping paper and tape, K2, from the Texas Public School Book Depository.

The inside surface of specimen Q10 did not disclose markings identifiable with the rifle, "M. A number of indentations, folds and extraneous markings appear on the inner surface of the Q10 wrapping.

The latent prints appearing In the photograph taken of the rifle, 1(1, by the Dallas Police Department, are too fragmentary and indistinct to be of any value for identification purposes. Photographs of thin weapow\ taken by thin Bureau also failed to produce prints of sufficient legibility comparison purposes.

A latent fingerprint was developed on the wrapping paper, Q10, which was identified with the left index finger impression of Lee Harvey Oswald. In addition, one latent palm print developed on specimen Q10 was Identified with the right palm print of Oswald.

No latent prints of value were developed on Oswald's revolver, the cartridge cases, the unfired cartridge, the clip in the rifle or the inner parts of the rifle.

• Specimens Q1 through Q5, Q14 and Q15 are being retained in the

Laboratory until called for by a representative of the . U. S. Secret Service.

Specimens Q0 through Q13, ICI, IC2 and IC3 are being returned to the Dallas Police Department by Special Agent Vincent E. Drain of the Dallas Field Office of this Bureau. The photograph of the latent print on the rifle is being returned separately. The fingerprints and palm prints of Oswald are being retained.

ADDENDUM TO FBI, DALLAS:

You should attempt to obtain the retraining items of clothing suspect is believed to have worn during the shooting for comparisons with the other fibers found on the K1 gun. You should also obtain fingernail scrapings from the suspect for examination to determine if any fibers are contained therein which match the fibers in the Q12 blanket:
