Where was Oswald's wallet found?  At the Tippit scene or in LHO's pocket when he was arrrested?

It was found on him when he was arrested. The wallet in the famous footage from the Tippit scene is of a wallet that superficially looks like Oswalds wallet but Dale Myers did a close up analysis of the footage of the wallet and the design is different from Oswalds wallet.

The wallet in the footage most likely belonged to one of the police officers at the Tippit scene.

Yeah, right... That's why Officer Croy confirmed that he found Oswald's wallet at the Tippit scene and why FBI agent Bob Barrett is saying, until this day, that he saw Oswald's wallet at the Tippit scene, being held by Captain Westbrook, who actually asked him if knew the names Oswald and Hidell.

Perhaps you should rely a little less on what Dale Myers is saying. He has a book to sell and a website to promote.

In order to make that determination you first need to know what Oswald's wallet looked like. Well, do you?

Dale Myers shows both wallets in his book With Malice. The shape of the small fold down section looks different on Oswalds wallet than one seen at the Tippit site.

So whatever the case of the wallet in the footage, its not the wallet (Oswalds wallet) that is currently at the National Archives.
