Mr. Liebeler.

It gets larger by degrees as it comes back toward the action, is that right?

Mr. Price.

That's right, and that's the reason I thought at the time that it had been placed in a lathe and turned down, but I'm not too familiar with the foreign made guns and I have learned since then that all Mauser rifles are that type they are made that way.

Mr. Liebeler.

With these steps as they come back toward the action?

Mr. Price.

That's right.

Mr. Liebeler.

Is this the same kind of scope that you saw on the rifle that Oswald had, the fellow you thought was Oswald?

Mr. Price.

Yes; it had large receivers at both ends and I believe, now, I might not be right about the brand name, but I believe it was a Tascosa, since I examined it---it was a Japanese made scope. They make several different brands of those things---it could be any of them, but I believe, as I remember it--it was a Tascosa.

Mr. Liebeler.

So, if you took the sling off this rifle and took the top wooden piece off the barrel, you think it would look pretty much like the one that this fellow had?

Mr. Price.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

Now, you testified before that when you examined this rifle, you looked for the brand name and you weren't able to find a brand name?

Mr. Price.

That's right.

Mr. Liebeler.

But you did see the serial number?

Mr. Price.

The serial number was--it was in here, in here, or in here I believe it was right along in here.

Mr. Liebeler.

And you are referring to the fore part of the action or the part of the rifle just before the action and immediately under the front edge of the scope, is that right?

Mr. Price.

Yes; the largest diameter of the barrel. The clip is here.

Mr. Liebeler.

It fits in just in front of the trigger?

Mr. Price.

It fits in just in front of the trigger there.

Mr. Liebeler.

I will hand you some pictures and see if you can recognize any of the people in them as the man you saw at the rifle range these have been previously marked "Commission Exhibits Nos. 451 and 453 through 456."

Mr. Price.

[Examining documents referred to.] Yes; this is the only one that has any similarity I can recall.

Mr. Liebeler.

You are referring to No. 455 does that look like him?

Mr. Price.

Well, these all seem like a photograph of the same fellow, but this is the only one that has any resemblance, as I can remember.

Mr. Liebeler.

Now, I show you another picture it is a photograph of a street scene with several people in it and I show you two different pictures and ask you if you notice anybody in there as being the fellow you saw at the rifle range?

Mr. Price.

Yes; this one here and this one here he has a part of the receding hairline on the right side.

Mr. Liebeler.

Which one?

Mr. Price.

This one right here he's got a long---kind of a sharp nose.

Mr. Liebeler.

The pictures that I have just showed you do not have any marks on them, is that right?

Mr. Price.

That's right.

Mr. Liebeler.

Let me show you two other pictures which are the same as the pictures I just showed you except that they have some green marks on them.

Mr. Price.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

The first picture I showed you--you have indicated on it that you recognized the man who has a green mark over his head.

Mr. Price.

That's right.

Mr. Liebeler.

In the identical picture which has been marked as "Pizzo Exhibit No. 453-B," and that is the man that you saw at the rifle range?

Mr. Price.

Right.

Mr. Liebeler.

On the second picture I showed you, you identified as the man you saw at the rifle range the man who has a green "X" over him?

Mr. Price.

That's right.
