PRESIDENT'S COMMISSION
ON THE ASSASSINATION OF
PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY
STATE OF TEXAS,
_County of Dallas, ss_:
I, David Goldstein, 6111 Averill Way, Apartment D, Dallas, Tex., being
duly sworn say:
1. I am and have been for several years owner of Dave's House of Guns,
2544 Elm Street, Dallas, Texas.
2. Dave's House of Guns has handled Smith and Wesson .38/200 British
Service Revolvers. Within ten days after the assassination of President
Kennedy, F.B.I. agents called on me to determine if Dave's House of
Guns had any record of handling a Smith and Wesson .38/200 British
Service Revolver, serial number V 510210 and assembly number 65248. We
had no such record.
3. After being shown a photograph of the above gun, I showed the F.B.I.
agents a catalog which listed such guns and indicated that they were
handled by George Rose and Company, Inc., 1225 South Grand Avenue, Los
Angeles, California.
Signed this 13th day of August 1964.
(S) David Goldstein,
DAVID GOLDSTEIN.
Transcriber's Notes:
Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant
preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.
Misspellings in quoted evidence not changed; misspellings that could be
due to mispronunciations were not changed.
Some simple typographical errors were corrected.
Inconsistent hyphenation of compound words retained.
Ambiguous end-of-line hyphens retained.
Occasional uses of "Mr." for "Mrs." and of "Mrs." for "Mr." corrected.
Dubious repeated words, (e.g., "What took place by way of of
conversation?") retained.
Several unbalanced quotation marks not remedied.
Occasional periods that should be question marks not changed.
Occasional periods that should be commas, and commas that should be
periods, were changed only when they clearly had been misprinted (at
the end of a paragraph or following a speaker's name in small-caps at
the beginning of a line). Some commas and semi-colons were printed so
faintly that they appear to be periods or colons: some were found and
corrected, but some almost certainly remain.
Text in quotations is not indented unless it was indented in the source.
"Air Force 1" usually is in italics, but in a few instances was printed
upright as "Air Force I".

Page 333: The Index referenced in Footnote 1 may not be available
