Washington, D. C., - - March 17, 196

ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY; NOVEMBER 22, 1963; DALLAS, TEXAS

The following information was furnishe by a confiden-tial source abroad on March 16, 1964:

1. Rifle C14 was manufactured by the Fabbrica Armi Esercito Terni - di Terni (the Army Arms Plant of Terni, Italy).

2. The number C2766 which appears on the barrel of the C14 rifle is the serial number of the rifle.

3. The C14 rifle is the only one of its type which bears serial number C2766.

4. It was not possible to definitely establish how many of this type of rifle were sold. It was established, how- ever, that the Carlo Riva Machine Shop of Brescia, Italy, shipped rifles of the same type to Adam Consolidated Industries, Inc., 404 Fifth Avenue, New York 18, N. Y., telephone number Wisconsin 4-4490. Rifle C14 was one of the rifles in a lot of 5200 so shipped. This shipment, numbered 3376, was shipped from the Port of Genoa, Italy, on the ship "Elettra Fassio" on September 28, 1960.

Concerning the shipment of these rifles to Adam Con solidated Industries, Inc., there is presently a legal proceeding by the Carlo Riva Machine Shop to collect payment for the ship-ment of the rifles which Adam Consolidated Industries, Inc., - - claims were defective.

Mr. J. Edgar Hoover Director Federal Bureau of Investigation Department of Justice Washington, D. C. 20535

Dear Mr. Hoover: k C) - • I

Re: Assassination of President Kennedy

/ As of Deceiiber 27, 1963, the FBI Laboratory advised that

the paper bag mar ed Q-10 was not the same type of paper as was t used in specimen -52. Q-10 is identified as the brown wrapping paper in the shape of a long bag which was found near the window from which the shots were fired. K-52 is a replica paper sack made from paper and tape available in the shipping room of the Texas School Book Depository. The report states "it was determined that the paper and tape used for specimen K-52 is different from the paper and tape used for the Q-10 paper bag that was previously sub-mitted in this case." (Gemberling, 1/7/64, "FBI Laboratory Exami-nations," page 47.)

To the contrary, the supplemental report of the FBI, dated January 13, 1964, at page 4, says

"The FBI Laboratory examined the brown wrapping paper in the shape of a long bag which was found near the window from which the shots were fired. It was determined that the wrapping paperE4441 the three-inch manila t.i.pe used to construct the bag were the same as that used by the Texas School Book Depository." --.
