The American Rifleman magazine from February 1963, 8.25 x 11.5, 104 pages, showing a pair of US martial flintlock pistols on the cover. This issue remains highly sought-after for its Klein’s Sporting Goods advertisement of a 6.5 Italian carbine firearm on page 65, the very weapon Oswald purchased and used to assassinate President Kennedy with on November 22, 1963. 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.
