A bullet, approximately 1.25” long, fired from a 6.5mm Mannlicher-Cracano Italian carbine rifle owned by Jesse E. Curry, Dallas Chief of Police from 1960–1966. He was seated in the lead car in the presidential motorcade on November 22, 1963. A similar bullet from a similar rifle was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald at President Kennedy. Warren Commission Exhibit 399 is identified as “Bullet found on stretcher at Parkland Memorial Hospital, Dallas, Tex.” It is also pictured on page 49 of Volume XVII of the Warren Commission Hearings. Bullet is housed in an acrylic mold, 3” in diameter, and mounted on a 7 x 9 plaque, with a descriptive plate affixed to the bottom which reads, “Replica of CE 399 the ‘magic’ bullet fired from Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry’s 6.5mm Mannlicher-Carcano.” Accompanied by a copy of a 1991 notarized letter from Larry N. Howard, co-director, JFK Assassination Information Center, which reads: “I Larry Howard, set in place this 6.5mm bullet in an acrylic mold after firing it myself from Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry’s personal 6.5mm Italian Mannlicher-Carcano rifle. I originally made 5 examples but only 3 were successful. In turn I sold one of the successful examples to Stanley J. Szerszen.” In fine condition. An incredibly scarce, and still controversial reminder of that day in Dallas.
