Mr. Eisenberg. And when was it examined?
Mr. Cunningham. It was examined that date.
Mr. Eisenberg. Mr. Cunningham, I now hand you Commission Exhibit No. 143, and I ask you whether you are familiar with this exhibit, which, for the record, is a revolver.
Mr. Cunningham. If you will excuse me, I won't open the cylinder. I have checked the cylinder, and there are expended or fired cartridge cases in the cylinder.
Mr. Eisenberg. Which you have placed in it for a special demonstration?
Mr. Cunningham. I fired it, yes, prior to my testimony here today. I have seen this weapon before.
Mr. Eisenberg. Again for the record, this is the weapon which is believed to have been used in the murder of Officer Tippit. Can you describe this weapon in terms of name, caliber and so forth?
Mr. Cunningham. Do you want me to describe it as it is today?
Mr. Eisenberg. As it is today.
Mr. Cunningham. As it is today, it is a .38 Special Smith and Wesson, Victory Model revolver.
