Do you believe Lee Oswald killed J.D. Tippit?

No.  I have no good reason to believe that.  Unfair and biased lineups are unreliable.

See this article, Rob. https://www.tactical-life.com/firearms/handguns/sw-victory-revolver/ The S & W .38 Special was called the Victory while the Colt .38 Special was called the Commando.

But there is a line item that matches the alleged pistol of LHO's on the order form and it is left BLANK. Why?

Seaport Trader's offered a  S & W .38 Special that they referred to as Commando.



That's the model that Oswald ordered and the model that Seaport shipped to his PO Box.

That would be more convincing if the order blanks matched.

Would it? I doubt it.

The blank order form has a 38 Special on it for $16, 95 and a 38 S & W for 29,95 which is at least a bit confusing.

Having said that, it doesn't really matter as the mail coupon in the advertisment is completely different from the one Hidell used, which of course means that the advertisment itself also can't be the one from which Hidell ordered the revolver.

What was the description of the revolver in the advertisement on the page that Oswald clipped the coupon from? Or of any of the revolvers on that page.  We don't have that, do we? So, how can it be said that there's a line item "that matches the alleged pistol of LHO's on the order form that is left BLANK"?
