Yes, Walt, we all know the story that you have fabricated around this. Too bad your evidence list is undated, and you don't actually know when the FBI received it.
The evidence inventory list does not have to have a date and time stamped on it if the examiner of the list is reasonably intelligent and can see that the original list does not identify the rifle as a "carcano carbine" because at midnight 11 /22/63 they did not know that the rifle was a Mannlicher Carcano..... (but on Saturday 11/23/63 they learned the rifle was called a Carcano)
And the original EI sheet listed item number six as....quote...." .38 cal pistol 2 inch barrel That's all nothing more ....
Whereas the "updated sheet" adds additional information which says that the pistol was released to FBI on 11 /22/63 and again on 11/26/63.
So the original sheet corroborates the "updated sheet of 11/26/63 by saying the gun was released to the FBI on 11/ 22/ 63 ...and sure enough that pistol IS listed on the evidence list on which the police did not yet know that the rifle was a Carcano.
Item number 14 on that original evidence inventory list is the... Quote...
" 1 Partial palm " Off underside gun barrel near end of foregrip" on rifle #C, 2766 The words ..."Off underside gun barrel near end of foregrip" are in quotaion marks because they are being quoted from the 3 X 5 indwx card on which Lt Day had placed the cellophane tape that held the smudge that he imagined to be a print which he lifted from the foregrip of the carcano while examining it in the TSBD at about 1:45 that afternoon. Tom Alyea was right ther watching as Day lifted that smuge and placed it on that index card.
