Louis Feldsott's affidavit in Volume XI, says that the rifle was sold to Klein's on June 18, 1962. (p. 205)
But the warehouse records said that the first batch of the rifles were not removed from Harborside until August 29th.
Armstrong flatly says that C2766 and carton #3376 was not removed on August 29th either. (p. 445) ANd that Fred Rupp never got that carton.(ibid) Rupp worked for Crescent and checked their orders before being shipped out to customers.
Now the WC and FBI eventually decided that the Klein's order was made in January 1963.
How could they do this? On all Rupp's orders for these types of rifles, which he removed from Harborside, not a single carton was listed! (ibid)
To say, as someone as goofy as Von Pein does, that this was somehow nothing to raise an eyebrow about is just, well, Von Peinian. Rupp was a licensed gun dealer. He was required to keep track of cartons and serial numbers. You could not keep track of serial numbers without the carton numbers. He then linked up those numbers to the retail purchaser. That way law enforcement could track a weapon from wholesaler to retailer to purchaser. Which is important in every murder case.
Except this one, of course.
