A suit belonging to JFK's assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, is offered at RR Auction.
Oswald bought the suit while stationed in Yokohama, Japan from 1957 until 1958. Bidding stands at $6,140 ahead of the August 12 close date.
 The lot is Lee Harvey Oswald's only dress suit |
RR Auction explains: "Apparently, his only dress clothes, Lee brought this suit along when he defected to the Soviet Union in October 1959 and it appears in at least three photographs dating from that period���including one taken on his wedding day on April 30, 1961.
"The suit is described briefly in the Warren Commission report: 'Oswald owned one suit, of Russian make and purchase, poor fitting and of heavy fabric which, despite its unsuitability for the comates of Texas and Louisiana and his obvious discomfort, he wore on the few occasions that required dress.'"
Material relating to Oswald is highly sought after. His wedding ring sold for $108,000 at RR Auction in 2013.
We have this photograph for sale, signed by JFK and his family.
