"The Dallas Police found Oswald's Carcano"
Actually a 7.65 Mauser was found by Sheriff Department Deputy Boone. The crime scene
was turned over to the (DPD) Dallas Police Department almost immediately. The rifle later became Ozzie's
Carcano.
There was no 7.65 Mauser found on the sixth floor at about 1:22 that afternoon.....The rifle that Boone saw a small portion of the butt of ...was a Mannlicher Carcano.
Any serious student who is searching for the truth is handcuffing himself by believing the mauser nonsense.....
This tale has become interwoven with the facts of the case and there's probably no way to remove the idea from the legend..... A pity.
