ABSTRACT
Collected data: Both the questioned (Q1) pistol and the known impression (K1) were examined separately. First the pistol was processed for the presence of fibers. One black fiber consistent in all chemical and physical properties with the black-colored fibers composing the sofa’s upholstery was found on the pistol. Next, the pistol and impression in the textile were examined for design features. Linear and angular measurements of both were made. Figure 7.19 demonstrates that all the obtained measurements and design features were present in both specimens. Finally, a photographic overlay was made of the pistol and placed directly over the K1 impression on the textile, as shown in Figure 7.20.
