Mr. Cunningham. Do you want the Remington-Peters?
Mr. Eisenberg. You are holding in your hand a Remington-Peters disassembled and assembled .38 Special?
Mr. Cunningham. Yes, sir.
Mr. Eisenberg. Would you hand that to the Chief Justice? May this be admitted into evidence as Exhibit 591?
The Chairman. It may be admitted.
(The article referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 591, and received in evidence.)
Mr. Eisenberg. This consists of an assembled R-P .38 Special and a disassembled R-P .38 Special.
Again, I notice, Mr. Cunningham, that the R-P bullet has a lead-colored look, whereas Exhibit 590 had a copper-colored look.
Mr. Cunningham. Yes, sir. The Western coating is known by the trade name "Lubaloy." It is a trade name of the Western Cartridge Co., and it is nothing more than a gilding metal—actually, it is just a flash coating on the outside of the bullet. There is some advantage, a very small advantage, as to leading. But it is mostly for sales appeal, because with Winchester bullets, some do and some don't have the coating. Most of Winchesters which is the same bullet, have not been copper coated—that they are selling today.
Mr. Eisenberg. Now, can you explain the difference in terms of dimensions and contour, weight, and so forth, between the .38 Special bullets which you have just shown us and the .38 S&W bullets which you have shown to us?
