What happened to the Mauser?

[Jake Maxwell]

What happened to the Mauser that was found on site after the Kennedy assassination?
Where was it found and who found it - and to whom was it registered?

I'm just wondering what information we have on this, and why it isn't considered strong evidence of a conspiracy?

What happened to the Mauser that was found on site after the Kennedy assassination?

It evaporated into nothing, as if it never existed.

If one rejects the possibility of witness errors, one is always going to be perplexed.

Some heard all the shots come from the behind the limousine. Some heard all the shots from ahead of the limousine. How did they modulate the sounds from shots from behind so that some witnesses could hear them but others can?t? How did they do the same with the shots from the front? How did they make certain no witness heard no shots while others heard all the shots?



If one insists that the witnesses were not mistaken about the Mauser, then there are some hard to answer questions.


** How could the conspirators smuggle in the wrong type of rifle to plant?

** How did they smuggle out the Mauser without anyone seeing?

The building was surrounded by reporters, film camera and photographers.

** How did they smuggle in the Carcano without being seen?

** How is it that all the photographs and film of the rifle show a Carcano, not a Mauser?


With the right assumption, that witnesses can be mistaken about the type of rifle found, a Mauser does closely resemble a Carcano (turn of the century rifle designers did steal each other ideas) then these hard to answer questions disappear.

There is film of a rifle WITHOUT A SCOPE being lowered from the roof and police officers and others standing around looking at it.There is film of this....there are so many threads that probably someone has posted this already.

Perhaps a thread but remember, the forum went down and had to be rebuilt.

Is that th way the police would have handled evidence?   When oh when are people going to wake up and start using their God given brain??

There never ever was a mauser......  That disinformation was introduced to create confusion....And since some fools still believe there was a mauser.... the disinfo  succeeded.....

Anna-Marie also discovered an empty envelope, originally marked, "Shell 7.5

found in Dealey Plaza 11/22/63. This would be an expended cartridge found

somewhere in Dealey Plaza, presumably not far from where it was fired; and

regardless of where in Dealey Plaza it was found (which the envelope doesn't

state), it's a 7.5 caliber, not a 6.5 caliber like the Mannlicher-Carcano. No

one outside a very select circle, apparently, ever heard of this item before.

Why is the envelope empty? Written right after the previously quoted

description: "DETERMINED OF NO VALUE AND DESTROYED."


Well, looks like we had a 7.65 bullet recovered but no Mauser.The letter describing the delivery to Baltimore of the need to have 2 agents pick up the gun that killed JFK AND "the bullet that struck Gov. Connally" creates a REAL problem for LNs. It was written by SAC Gordon Shanklin on 11-22-63 & the agents delivered it on 12/3/63. BTW, I posted the picture of the rifle w/o the scope....it is NOT the rifle that was held by the strap (Manlicher Carcano 6.5) found on the 6th floor of the TSBD.The empty envelope in the National Archives labeled 7.65 and recovered in Dealey Plaza is a problem as well. Well come to think of it there were 4 wounds in JFK and Connally, bullet hole in the windshield,hole in the chrome trim, hole in the curb (chiseled up & removed), 2 bullet holes in the the man hole cover, one in the grass etc.
