Did Bentley say that he engraved his initials on the gun at the same time as Hill, Carroll, Walker, and McDonald? No. You're assuming that all of the officers itnitalled the weapon at the same time, but there's nothing in the record that requires, implies, or suggests that this is the case.
Moving the goalpost again? This is exactly the kind of BS that I have seen coming from you in previous conversations. Hill said he had the revolver all the time, until he handed it over to Lt Baker. Your suggestion that Bentley initialed the revolver before everybody else did is an assumption for which there is no evidence. It also doesn't make any sense!
Oh, but it does. You just won't let the sunshine into your mind. Carrol testified to the same thing:
First you claim that Hill's testimony implied it (which it didn't) and now you come up with Carroll who only believes that Bentley and Lyons had already left and doesn't even recall if Westbrook was there.
Wow, that's some solid "evidence" 
The one good thing coming out of this is the fact that there also isn't a solid chain of custody for the wallet, just like there isn't one for the revolver, the gray jacket and CE 399.
Because you kept emphasizing Bentley, so that's what I responded to. Your Bentley angle has crashed and burned, so now you want to change the subject.
Nope.. the question about Rose and Walker was already asked before you joined the conversation. The fact that you don't understand ignored that shows exactly your strategy of talking about anything except the matter I wanted to discuss.
And my Bentley angle hasn't crashed and burned. You haven't even come close to making a coherent argument. All you are doing is cherry picking evidence and throwing it at the wall to see what sticks.
As for the original question, which directly relates to the existence of two wallets, you are still completely lost in the dark.
I said it before and I'll repeat it now; talking to you is a waste of time!
MW: Hill said he had the revolver all the time, until he handed it over to Lt Baker. He used the word "possession" which is a little more permissive than you'd like to think. Westbrook said that it was lying on the desk in the Personnel squad room when he walked in. That would still fit "possession," as the squad room wasn't that big, while not strictly being on Hill's person. This leaves it open to Bentley putting his JH on it.
MW: Your suggestion that Bentley initialed the revolver before everybody else did is an assumption for which there is no evidence. There is also no evidence against this happening.
MW: It also doesn't make any sense! Hill tried to turn over the revolver to Baker when Oswald was deposited with the Homicide crew. If Bentley left early in the Personnel office report party, which everyone involved said happened, then Bentley wasn't around at 3:15 when Baker showed up to collect the revolver. It's possible that Bentley might have autographed the pistol while they were still in the homicide office thinking it was about the be transferred and didn't know when it wound up not being left in the Homicide office. Alternately, Bentley might have initialed the gun just before he left the Personnel office to go to the hospital; and ?Hill didn't mention this in his report because Bentley wasn't there at the actual time of transfer.
Also, you don't know what "moving the goalposts" means.
MW: First you claim that Hill's testimony implied it (which it didn't) and now you come up with Carroll who only believes that Bentley and Lyons had already left and doesn't even recall if Westbrook was there. Wow, that's some solid "evidence" That's a lot more more evidence than you've provided of Bentley being present at the 3:15 handover of the revolver.
As for the wallet, Bentley said in his report that it was turned over before the arresting party left for the Personnel office. He said the same thing in the videotaped interviews that he made years later. That is, he put the wallet handover at the same time as Baker, Rose, et al. That was well before 3:15, and well before Baker came to the Personnel office to retrieve the revolver.
