On the night of 11/22/63 the DPD released 15 items of evidence to the FBI....  A couple of days later the FBI returned 9 items to the DPD....

the items that were not returned ( or at least were not listed  ) is:.....

1) The brass button from Tippit's jacket
2) several fragments taken from the body of Gov Connally.......( the FBI returned only one fragment)
3) 1- Piece of cardboard containing palm print of subject
4) 3-Empty cardboard boxes A, B. & C
5) 1-Cardboard box , empty, size 11 3/4"  X 13"  X  17 1/2"  from which thumb print of subject was found.
6) 1- Partial palm print "off underside gun barrel near end of foregrip "  on rifle # C2766
7) 3- negatives of partial prints found on trigger housing of rifle ser # C2766

Bull. The magic partial palmprint didn’t get to the FBI until November 29th.

That means nothing. A dead body cant give a fingerprint. So the print was not lifted off Oswalds body after he died as Oliver Stone claimed in the JFK movie.

It is also near impossible to lift a print and leave no residue behind. The FBI examined the rifle on 11/23/63 and found no trace of a print.

Then what were the police doing at the funeral home with a fingerprint kit?

Actually, you can get prints off of a dead body with the use of ink.

Near impossible? Where do you get that from?

The content of the letter you posted has nothing to do with risidue of a print being left behind when the print is lifted.

The FBI found not even a trace of a print on 11/23/63. When the rifle is returned to the DPD, Day has prints of Oswald's hand and palm available.

How easy would it be to stick such a print to the rifle and thus obtain the irregularities onto the lift?

Besides, let’s see the actual examination. We got a claim from Hoover and a smudge.
