Gerald Campeau in the Mice Fighting Gorillas-Facebookgroup posted a link to the FBI-report
in the National Archives that I think Sylvia Maegher was referring to. I'm keeping the entry
in the Erasing the Past list, just striking it through to indicate that this item is no longer
lost or being withheld.
Link: FBI REPORT IN THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES
"Mr. WEITZMAN described the rifle which was found as a 7.65 caliber Mauser bolt-action rifle,
which loads from a five shot clip which is locked on the underside of the receiver forward of
the trigger guard. The metal parts of this rifle were of a gun metal color, gray or blue, and the
rear portion of the bolt was visibly worn. The wooden portions of this rifle were a dark brown
in color and of rough wood, apparently having been used or damaged to considerable extent.
This rifle was equipped with a four-power 18 scope of apparent Japanese manufacture. It was
also equipped with a thick brown-black leather bandolier type sling." (From the FBI report)
