Description

A 1963 issue of the Klein's Sporting Goods catalog, 8.5 x 11, 95 pages, featuring the "6.5 Italian Carbine" that Oswald ordered on page 70. The ad reads, in part: “Only 36″ overall, weighs only 5 1/2-lbs. Shows only slight use, lightly oiled, test fired and head spaced, ready for shooting. Turned down bolt, thumb safety, 6-shot, clip fed. Rear open sight. Fast loading and fast firing.” Oswald purchased the C20-T750 option for $19.95, which was equipped with “Brand New Good Quality 4X Scope.” In fine condition, with expected light age wear. Accompanied by a small copy of the 'A. Hidell' money order that the Warren Commission concluded Oswald used to purchase the gun from Klein's.
