Curatorial Note:

It is not clear which Dallas Morning News photographer took this image. - Stephanie Allen-Givens, Collections and Exhibits Manager

This photograph showing the Mannlicher-Carcano rifle upside down was likely taken at the same time as other Dallas police evidence photographs in the crime lab on the afternoon/evening of the Kennedy assassination. The Museum's R.W. "Rusty" Livingston Collection has two very similar evidence photos of the rifle, as taken on November 22, 1963: 2002.002.0052-0053. -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
