JERRY FREEMAN SAID:
Two weapons ...Ordered a month apart...yet conveniently arrive on the very same exact day?
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
I think it's fairly clear from the Seaport records that Oswald didn't mail the order form for the pistol in January. The Seaport order coupon says "January 27", yes. But that doesn't mean it was put in a mailbox on Jan. 27. He probably mailed the order forms for both the revolver and the rifle on the same day (March 12). Otherwise there would be an inexplicably long (month-and-a-half) delay in processing the Seaport revolver order, which does not seem likely at all.
JERRY FREEMAN SAID:
The pistol came COD? [not available anymore these days] So where are the Post Office records of the $10 advance payment and the $19.95 pickup payment?
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Re: the initial ten-dollar payment....
Why would there be any "Post Office record" of that $10 cash payment that Oswald mailed directly to Seaport Traders?
Please explain why you think the post office would have even SEEN that $10 CASH payment sent by LHO. It was inside an envelope all the way from Dallas to Los Angeles.
JERRY FREEMAN SAID:
Good question. Supposedly, Oswald was a believer in money orders. Why didn't Hidell/Oswald just send $30 for the pistol and be done with it? Why would a Hidell/Oswald individual then allegedly buy the money order to order the rifle [which was cheaper than the revolver if we can believe this to be any quality of a rifle]? I mean just stuff $22 in the order envelope and be done with it.
JERRY FREEMAN ALSO SAID:
I will say this about David Von Pein [if I haven't before]...We certainly don't agree on the conclusions of the REPORT, but his work compiling his abundant JFK assassination materials is exemplary.
That stated...can he supply the links pertaining to the revolver order as requested above?

JOHN IACOLETTI SAID:
There’s either evidence of this alleged COD payment or there is not.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
There is. CTers, of course, will forever ignore it, but there is evidence that the COD balance of $19.95 was paid to Seaport. It's in Heinz Michaelis' Warren Commission testimony [7 H 378-379]....
JOE BALL -- Is there anything in your files which shows that the Railway Express did remit to you the $19.95?
HEINZ MICHAELIS -- The fact that the exhibit number...was attached to the red copy of the invoice...indicates that the money was received.
Plus, the word "Paid" is written right on the Seaport invoice too (Michaelis Exhibit No. 2). But I guess CTers must think the word "PAID" means exactly the opposite and that Seaport never received the $19.95 balance at all, huh? ~shrug~
OTTO BECK SAID:
Prove that the control number above the serial number was an actual Klein's control number, then you have a minute chance of keeping your fantasy alive.
Good luck!
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Waldman Exhibit No. 4 proves that Klein's assigned the Control Number of VC-836 to the exact rifle that Klein's shipped to Oswald, Serial Number C2766.
And the VC-836 / C2766 match is confirmed by Klein's Vice President William J. Waldman in his Warren Commission testimony (at 7 H 364)....
DAVID BELIN -- Well, I hand you what has been marked as Waldman Deposition Exhibit No. 4 and ask you to state if you know what this is.
WILLIAM WALDMAN -- This is the record created by us showing the control number we have assigned to the gun together with the serial number that is imprinted in the frame of the gun.
MR. BELIN -- Now, this is a photostat, I believe, of records you have in front of you on your desk right now?
MR. WALDMAN -- That's correct.
MR. BELIN -- Do you find anywhere on Waldman Deposition Exhibit No. 4 the serial number C2766?
MR. WALDMAN -- Yes.
MR. BELIN -- And what is your control number for that?
MR. WALDMAN -- Our control number for that is VC-836.
------------
Am I supposed to now believe that the document marked as Waldman Exhibit No. #4 is a fake document too? And am I therefore also supposed to believe that William Waldman was lying through his teeth in his above testimony?
I'll repeat here something I asked the stubborn batch of conspiracy theorists at The Education Forum a few years ago....
How many things that appear to be kosher does it take to make an item cross over into the category of "Real and Legitimate"? Or is that a stupid question to ask a conspiracy believer?
