Chipper, I was part of the security detail assigned to guard King Baudouin of Belgium during the funeral. Got my face in books and magazines (behind the King). So now you can say you know a guy who was there...Best of luck with your interesting project. Ralph
Kennedy Assassination Collection
I am putting together somewhat of a collection/displayof the Kennedy Assassination and of course that involves an M38 Carcano, so I wanted to share it in this forum. I don't have pics of everything yet but I wanted to post the pics that I do have, as several of my friends have asked me to. I know I will probably catch some flak from different ones, so just know that it is certainly not my intention to offend anyone whatsoever. I just wanted to share my little piece of history. Your comments are welcome. This is PART of my collection so far:

ZAPRUDER CAMERA: Mint condition 8mm Bell and Howell Zoomatic Movie Camera with case, like the one owned by Abraham Zapruder that he used to capture the most historical 26.6 seconds in history caught on film
