CD87 p92 - SS tells us the rifle Kleins shipped to Hidell was a 91(T)roop (S)pecial carbine

[Drew Phipps]

I've measured digitally the photos of the guns allegedly owned/used by Oswald. The one paraded thru the police station matches the measurements of the 91/38. However, the backyard photos show a gun that is actually 2 inches LONGER than the 91/38 (assuming that LHO is 5'9"). And it appears that the shipping orders and packing cases and freight weight documents reflect a SHORTER weapon than the 91/38 (whether carbine or TS). The anomaly that is the longer weapon in the backyard photos might be explained either by 1) it's a different weapon altogether, or 2) the person standing in the photos "wearing" LHO's face is 5'6" (making the weapon the right size to be a 91/38), or 3) the rifle has simply been photographically added to the photo.
