CE 2562

[John Tonkovich]

That's not Klein's ad. Klein's advertised the 40 inch rifle as weighing only 7 lbs.


.
100 x 7 = 700

Perhaps Mr. Organ could give us his source for the post showing Carcano at 7.5 lbs?
Thanks.

He's not answering my questions, as well. His mind is made up; the rifles can only be TS-type and the shipping container has to be wood.

I think if you open your eyes.... The weight on the BOL is TARE weight.....  Tare weight is the weight of the freight,minus the weight of the shipping container.

Could be true.
However, all CE2562 show's is 750lbs. Lifschutz Fast Freight.
I would love more documentation, if possible.

Thanks.

My apologies for "poor wording".

No premise. Just facts.

The carton and rifles weighed 750 lbs. The 40" rifle weighed 7.5 lbs, in the ad provided by Mr. Organ.

100 x 7.5 = 750. Plus weight of carton.

CE 2562 is quite informative.

Not wanting to offend you John... but: How does this theory affect the guilt or innocence of Lee Harvey Oswald--the assassin?

Are you suggesting this "weights and measures" debate proves there is something suspicious about the "history" of the Carcano rifle C 2766?

The TOPIC is so brief and vague that only JFK Assassination aficionados would be inclined to proceed to read it. Why not something like this instead:

Rankin letter (CE 2562) ~ Carcano (C 2766) history (Crescent to Kleins) is faked

This topic seems somewhat pointless.

However, as usual: I do enjoy looking at Organ's splendid, original graphics.

I do believe this site is peopled by JFK Assassination afficionados?  Last time I checked?

CE 2562 seems quite real.

And informative. Would like to see D171, the bill of lading. Checking into locating it. Any help appreciated.

Thanks.
