Is the revolver a S&W?

Yes, but do you think any of these differences were due to the lighting conditions?

Could be. The underlying issue is that variations in lighting, background, and human perception can affect how any particular witness describes a particular color. Does this prove it was Oswald? No. Does it allow some room for doubt that Brennan was describing Oswald. A little bit. Is it a deal-killer proving that Brennan didn't see Oswald? No. 

I take it your insistence on asking the same question spring from what might be called some kind of whizzing match with some other poster, but there's no point in keeping that up, is there.

Would you describe this shirt as "DINGY WHITE"?  Brennan said the man's shirt was "dingy white,

I realize now the shirt in the photograph is a shirt shown under artificial light. Sunlight is more powerful.

and his trousers were a shade lighter than the shirt.

Wasn't Brennan comparing the trousers to the darkness of the shirt as shown him in CE 150?

Mr. BELIN. I am handing you what the court reporter has marked as Commission Exhibit 150.
     Does this look like it might or might not be the shirt, or can you make at this time any positive identification of any kind?
Mr. BRENNAN. I would have expected it to be a little lighter--a shade or so lighter.
Mr. BELIN. Than Exhibit 150?
Mr. BRENNAN. That is the best of my recollection.
Mr. BELIN. All right.
     Could you see the man's trousers at all?
     Do you remember any color?
Mr. BRENNAN. I remembered them at that time as being similar to the same color of the shirt or a little lighter.

Clearly Lee had TWO shirts that were similar....,  He was wearing one of them at the time this photo was taken.....

The other shirt he supposedly wore seems to be light under artificial light.

Good work Jerry!

Worn out t-shirts ARE very comfortable. And the dinginess was probably a result of years of use without using bleach when he washed it.

Marina washed his shirts when they were together. That is how she knew what all he wore.

I was referring to the Ultra Downey TV ad:

> Ultra Downy TV Commercial, 'Half-Washed: The U-Neck Shirt'

When a man removes his sweater during a first date, the woman is dumbstruck by his half-washed shirt. The stretched-out V-neck looks more like a U-neck. He tells her she looks amazing, but all she can reply is how amazingly comfortable he looks.

"THE VIEWPOINT OF BRENNAN"  He must have had binoculars or was Brennan floating at a height equal to the traffic light?

[Jerry Organ]

"THE VIEWPOINT OF BRENNAN" 

Why are you misquoting me? This is not the Trump thread.

He must have had binoculars

Didn't think it would need to be mentioned, but it's a zoomed-in view fixed to the line-of-sight from where Brennan sat. It also represents in a general way his concentration on the subject.

or was Brennan floating at a height equal to the traffic light?

That would make Brennan 1/4 closer to the window than where he actually was.
