Mr. Belin. Mr. Waldman, were you ever contacted by any law enforcement agency about the disposition of this Mannlicher-Carcano rifle that had the serial number C-2766 on it?
Mr. Waldman. Yes; on the night of November 22, 1963, the FBI contacted our company in an effort to determine whether the gun had been in our possession and, if so, what disposition we had made of it.
Mr. Belin. Do you know how the FBI happened to contact you or your company?
Mr. Waldman. The FBI had a record of a gun of this type and with this serial number having been shipped to us by Crescent Firearms.
Mr. Belin. Do you mean that Crescent Firearms gave the FBI this information?
Mr. Waldman. Well, I—I must assume that's the case. I don't know it for a fact.
Mr. Belin. All right. What did you and your company do when you were contacted by the FBI?
Mr. Waldman. We met with the FBI in our offices.
Mr. Belin. Was this on Friday evening, November 22?
Mr. Waldman. On Friday evening, November 22.
