Re;... "Mrs Bucknell said that she did not know how any of papers received a "SIMILAR" photograph"....
Mrs Bucknell was referring to the Detroit Free Press..... That news paper published the BY photo (CE 133A) before Life magazine was on the News stands.
Mrs Bucknell may not have known where the DFP obtained the photo ....but if she had had the power to make the editor divulge the person from whom he had received the photo....She would have discovered that J. Edgar Hoover's agent on the Warren Commission, Mr Gerald Ford had stolen a copy of the photo and gave it to the editor of the DFP.
In February of 64 Hoover and LBJ were desperate to pin the blame on their patsy.... The public had caught the smell of a skunk, and they were demanding answers to many unanswered questions. Hoover and LBJ knew that they needed to do something drastic to quiet the pissants...... And they knew that the photo of the patsy "with the guns he used to kill JFK and officer JD Tippit " ( the caption from the cover of LIFE) would be sucked up by the gullible pissants if it was splashed across the country and displayed like a giant "wanted" poster of the FBI's most wanted from the Post Office.
Hoover agent Gerald Ford owed the Editor of the DFP for his support in helping Ford win a seat in the US House of Representatives......
You are reading comprehension challenged! Jim Martin, pre-internet, corroborates the understanding of the source of the BYP print
published by Life Magazine. How is this possible? Do you suppose Jim Martin, by 1992, had been hanging out at Weisberg's Maryland
chicken farm?

A Friend to Marina Oswald Norman Man Recalls Assassin's Widow
DAVID ZIZZO Published: Sun, November 29, 1992
...Martin told the commission Marina seemed to believe her husband alone killed Kennedy.
But his recollection now is, "I don't really think she thought he was guilty. " ....
...While it lasted, being Marina's business manager was a unique experience, Martin said.
He said he sold the photo of Oswald holding a rifle to Life Magazine for $5,000. He said the photo "came directly from her scrapbook" and could not have been altered after the assassination, as some conspiracy theorists allege.
"If it had, it was doctored right after it was taken," Martin said....

I just thought I would share an interview I conducted with Gene Roberts over email.
A March 2, 1964 article in Newsweek Magazine claimed that Gene Roberts had purchased a number of photographs of Oswald on behalf of the Detroit Free Press. The negative of one of these photographs has never been located or analysed, so I asked Gene the following questions:
1. Who sold you these photographs?
2. What photos were included in the purchase?
3. Did the Warren Commission or the House Select Committee on Assassinations ever try to contact you to reacquire these photos?
4. Do you know what became of these photos?
Here is his answer for any researcher who may be interested:
The photographs you asked about came from the files of the district
attorney?s office in Dallas. The DA got them from the FBI. They were the
same photographs that were given to the Warren Commission.
The photographs included the well known photograph of Oswald holding a
rifle in one hand and The Worker, the Communist Party newspaper from New
York, in the other; photocopies of Oswald?s identity cards, some with
aliases and others in his own name; and some family photos, as I recall.
I don?t remember the exact number, but there were possibly as many as 25
or 30. Almost all of the photographs were later made public, but at the
time they were new to the reading public.
No negatives were involved, only copies of photos and documents in the
FBI files. The FBI made them available to the Dallas DA to aid in the
prosecution of the Jack Ruby case. I correctly guessed this might happen
and made every effort to cultivate people in the DA?s office in the hope
that I might get access to the files. One employee of the DA made the
files available to me from 8 p.m. on a Saturday night to 8 a.m. on
Sunday morning, a 12-hour period when the employee did not think anyone
would be in the DA?s office. I hired an experienced photo lab person to
photocopy the file during the 12-hour period. I stayed with him during
the entire copying process and he provided me with two copies of every
photo and document in the file.
I had planned to route each set of copies on different airlines from
Dallas to my newspaper at the time, the Detroit Free Press in Detroit,
Michigan But I was so sleep-deprived that when I arrived at the
Dallas-Fort Worth airport on Sunday at about 9 a.m., I failed to make my
instructions clear and both sets of photographs were routed on the same
flight to Detroit. Because of weather conditions ? or mechanical
problems, I can?t remember which ? the plane was grounded in New Orleans
for several hours.
Panic developed at the Free Press, which wanted the photos in time for
the first edition of the Monday paper, which had a 6 p.m. deadline on
Sunday. We knew that Life magazine had access to some of the photos and
would start appearing at newsstands about noon on Monday. We wanted to
beat them to the punch.
As the deadline approached, editors in Detroit asked me to describe the
pictures and estimate the size of each photo that would be on page one.
With this information, the paper set the type for the front page and
made the page with holes for the pictures.
The plane arrived in Detroit about 30 minutes before deadline on Sunday
at the Detroit airport, which was about 30 minutes by car from the Free
Press building. My editor, Derrick Daniels, had motorcycles waiting on
the tarmac to speed the photos to the newsroom, where he had photo
editors and airbrush artists waiting to expedite the photos into the
paper. In 1964, engraving processes were not as sophisticated as they
later became, and it was commonplace to airbrush photos with white
liquid chalk to heighten the definition between dark and gray areas in
photographs. In the haste to get the photos in the paper, an airbrusher
covered the sniper scope (on the rifle Oswald was holding along with The
Worker paper) with liquid chalk.
Our paper was indeed available several hours ahead of Life. But when
Life appeared on newsstands, its photo of Oswald with The Worker paper
had a sniper scope. The Free Press photo did not. Armchair detectives
around the world found this to be highly suspicious.
But the Life and Free Press photos were both copies of the very same
photograph. Because airbrushers use liquid chalk that can be scratched
away with a fingernail, you could easily determine that the photographs
were the same. The apparent discrepancies of the photos have been
mentioned several times over the years in books and articles, creating a
mystery where none really existed. Had anyone taken the time to visit
the morgues (libraries) of the two publications, they could have seen
that the photos were the same.
