All it shows is that he knew the official prop gun was supposed to be a 6.5 Carcano. It is ironic that you take this hand scribbled sheet as gospel, but ignore and deny actual reports and affidavits saying that a Mauser was found.

he knew the official prop gun was supposed to be a 6.5 Carcano.

Really??..... Did he write:.... 1- Lever action Mannlicher Carcano rifle c 2766?

If he knew the pro gun was "supposed to be a 6.5 Carcano" why didn't he tell Fritz and the FBI agent Vincent Drain that the rifle was a Carcano??  They didn't know the make of the rifle until Saturday....

Notice the note a the bottom which says that Vince Drain took possession of the evidence. This note had to have been added to the scribbled note of 2:15 pm, after the evidence was turned over to the FBI at midnight.

Your feeble attempts at trying to assist the WC are not working. I don't come here for your opinion. You NEVER support your claims with any evidence.

Get over it. A Mauser was found in the TSBD on November 22, 1963.

It's possible that a mauser was found in the TSBD that afternoon.....But it was not the rifle that had been carefully hidden beneath boxes of books.... and Roger Craig most certainly did not see Fritz and Day examining a mauser....

Is it significant that this report shows a LEVER ACTION rifle .....
 
Two spent shells were all that were planted....and that what was found.  Then they realized that they couldn't pin the murder on Lee Oswald alone if there were only two spent shells found because there were more than two shot fired. Thus they added the third shell later....


Wally..I think because they screwed that one up also. You see..three shells were not really necessary for three shots.
Though three shots were officially fired, it could have been be presumed that there were let's say 4 bullets loaded so BANG eject one shell...BANG eject a shell...BANG ...Ahhh job accomplished no need to eject ..no one need know about the brass that wasn't ejected.
The alternative was that the third shell was ejected in anticipation of the final shot but the target had then vanished..but that was not [officially] ever mentioned was it?

Detective Day was an ignoramus who was a "good ole boy" who got his job by being a "Good Ole Boy" but he didn't know a lever action from a bolt action
:D

Who dug that report up?
It must have been in the Dallas Library archives somewhere and it got released- ooops

According to the original Mentesana film seen by Jim Garrison it was a rifle brought down from the roof and it had no scope on it.

Another look at this film....
Who's the guy in the tan raincoat and hat?
Did Garrison ever find out?

And from the biography it states " Craig worked for the Purex Corporation before joining the Dallas Police Department in 1959. He was named Man of the Year by the sheriff's office in 1960 for his work in aid in helping to capture an international jewel chief. He had a successful career in the DPD and was promoted four times". 

The Spartacus biography is wrong.
 He was hired as a Dallas County Deputy Sheriff.
He was never a local city Dallas Police officer
From the Shaw trial....

Quote
Q: Mr. Craig, where do you reside?
A: Dallas, Texas.
Q: Were you residing in Dallas, Texas on November 22, '63?
A: Yes, sir, I was.
Q: On that occasion by whom were you employed?
A: Sheriff Bill Decker.
Q: Were you a Sheriff's Deputy on that occasion?
A: Yes, sir, I was.
Q: How long had you been a Sheriff's Deputy on November 22, 1963?
A: Four years.

However...as has been demonstrated completely by now...there was gross collusion between the city cops and the Sheriff's Dept.

Lastly, Alyea film :


Who thinks this gun at the beginning  looks like the scoped Mannlicher-Carcano with sling that is held up later in this same short film ? Of course, it could be some more crackerjack detective work...you know, why hold it by the sling and have a scope when you can just grab the gun with your hand. 

Another look----
@ 0:12 & 0:14 looks a bit like a lever action but at 0:17 the barrel is big like a shotgun or is it a silencer? There is no sling apparently & .....who in hell is that guy?
There is that guy 0:24 with the cigarette in his mouth... who is that?
