BWF and LMR may not have been the only ones who saw LHO with a bag on 11/22/1963

Because different items may offer different grounds for testing. Duh!

You still haven't offered a single cogent reason why 2 curtain rods found in the Paine garage would be tested for Mr Oswald's prints. But I guess 'Don't know, don't care' was your way of giving a 'straightforward' answer!

And you must have missed this part of my response!:

"[to] determine whether they might bear prints belonging to known subversives or possible confederates of Mr Oswald"

Imagine---------for example-----------the prints of Mr J Ruby or Officer J. D. Tippit had been found on the automatic ball-point pen!

Or on One bar pink "Lux" soap or on the plastic box containing tweezers and two pieces of cotton, or on one tube of "Colgate" dental cream, partially empty, or on two large paper clips?

Or on 2 curtain rods found in the Paine garage?

I repeat my question with specific reference to the list of items you have given us:

Were any of these items submitted for fingerprint testing 8 days before being found?

What is the point of your question? It's a rather stupid one.

HUH??....  WHY ? do you assume that the rifle was available in the garage to be carried anywhere that morning.....

Apparently because Marina saw a part of a wooden stock that she took to be a rifle in a rolled up and tied blanket 6 weeks earlier.

But, in answering that question, you can't set aside the question of whether the items belonged to Oswald or not. Some of the testing from items taken from the Paine home, for instance, may have been done to ascertain whether or not they might not in fact have belonged to one of the Paines.

LOL! Were the Paines ever even fingerprinted? Wouldn't it have been easier to just ask them? And what would be so important about knowing who those items belonged to?

[Tim Nickerson]

Because the Dallas office of the FBI was insane?

Conspicuously absent from this list: Backyard photos, Blank Klein?s coupons, Walker house photos...

The backyard photos, blank klein's coupons, and Walker house photos were all items that had previously been forwarded to the Bureau for examination.

If the Paines were never fingerprinted then it's even more of a waste of time and taxpayer money to try to develop prints on toiletries from their home.  Gee, Oswald touched this bar of Lux soap -- that's useful info for the murder investigation.  Kind of like Jack Ruby's mother's dental records.

Did they find anything of value on those items either?

Considering that Oswald was dead, I'm leaning toward "No".

Not sure.
