Mr. WALDMAN. From a Mr. A. Hidell of Post Office Box No. 2915, from
Dallas, Tex.
Mr. BELIN. And you are now reading from Waldman Deposition Exhibit No.
7?
Mr. WALDMAN. As indicated on Waldman Deposition Exhibit No. 7. Now, we
cannot specifically say when this money order was deposited, but on our
deposit of March 13, 1963, we show an item of $21.45, as indicated on
the Xerox copy of our deposit slip marked, or identified by--as Waldman
Deposition Exhibit No. 10.
Mr. BELIN. And I have just marked as a document what you are reading
from, which appears to be a deposit with the First National Bank of
Chicago by your company; is that correct?
Mr. WALDMAN. That's correct.
Mr. BELIN. And on that deposit, one of the items is $21.45, out of a
total deposit that day of $13,827.98; is that correct?
Mr. WALDMAN. That's correct.
Mr. BELIN. Now, when we examined Waldman Deposition Exhibit No. 1, you
had a control number of which the last four numbers were T749, and when
you shipped the rifle, you had the control number with the last four
numbers as T750; otherwise the control number is the same. Could you
tell us what accounts for the difference?
Mr. WALDMAN. Yes; these numbers that you referred to are not control
numbers, as previously stated. These are known as catalog numbers.
The number C20-T749 describes a rifle only, whereas the catalog No.
C20-T750 describes the Italian carbine rifle with a four-power scope,
which is sold as a package unit.
Mr. BELIN. Do you remember what the rifle would have cost without the
scope?
Mr. WALDMAN. As I recall, it was either $12.78 or $12.95.
Mr. BELIN. Would the advertisement run in the Rifleman's Magazine of
February 1963, have given the purchaser the option to buy with or
without the scope, if you remember?
Mr. WALDMAN. Without specific reference to the ad, I would say that it
did. Most usually we did.
Mr. BELIN. And the purchaser would signify his preference in what
manner?
Mr. WALDMAN. The customer designates whether he wants the rifle only or
whether he wants the rifle with the scope by his selection of catalog
numbers.
Mr. BELIN. When this rifle came to your company, was the scope already
mounted on it when you got it from Crescent?
Mr. WALDMAN. No.
Mr. BELIN. Who put the scope on the rifle?
Mr. WALDMAN. The scope was mounted on the rifle in our gun shop, most
probably by a gunsmith named William Sharp.
Mr. BELIN. Would Mr. Sharp drill whatever holes were necessary for the
mounting and do the actual mounting then himself?
Mr. WALDMAN. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Would Mr. Sharp or anyone else in your company in any way
sight in the sight, whether it would be boresighting or actual firing
with the sight?
Mr. WALDMAN. No; it's very unlikely in an inexpensive rife of this sort
that he would do anything other than roughly aline the scope with the
rifle.
Mr. BELIN. Do you have any records which show where you purchased the
scope?
Mr. WALDMAN. It's reasonably certain the scope was purchased from
Martin B. Retting, Inc., 1129 Washington Boulevard. Culver City, Calif.
Mr. BELIN. Would it have any identification on the scope itself, if you
know?
