Silencer was dismantled twice and rebuilt before the rebuilt silencer was recorded in a general examination record at the lab' , dated the 26th September 1985. In the there's only one silencer scenario, 'Ron' Cook dismantled it on the 29th August 1985, and rebuilt it before sending it along to the lab' on the following day, for the attention of the ballistic expert who dismantled it again on the 10th September 1985, discovering the loose flake of blood trapped between baffle plates 1 and 2 - then the ballistic expert rebuilt the silencer and handed the rebuilt silencer over to the blood expert, John Hayward, along with the flake - yet by 26th September the silencer is rebuilt as shown in the general examination record dated the 26th September 1985...
How does anyone know whether or not when the silencer was rebuilt by Cook on the 29th August 1985, and by the ballistic expert o0n the 10th September 1985, that the baffle plates were not puit back inside the tube of the silencer the wrong way around, so that by the time the blood expert got around to examining the internal baffle plates of the silencer, the presence of stained blood was recorded at the wrong end of the silencer, for example at the top end of the silencer rather than at the bottom end. The difference would be significant, since with a presence of blood at the top end of the silencer on the first five or six baffle plates this lends support to the argument that backspatter had occurred favouring use of the silencer in the shootings resulting in victims blood getting into the silencer at the time they were shot. However, if blood had been present on the bottom five or six baffle plates, it could have been deposited there during test firing of control bullets fired through it, also leading to a small flake of dried blood being blasted into the silencer during the same test fire...
