None of these, could have been a reference to the Bamber Silencer (DRB/1) which was not found until 11th September 19857th August 1985 - DS Jones takes possession of a silencer (SBJ/1) from scene, along with three other exhibits, marked, SBJ/2, SBJ/3 and SBJ/4
(This could not have been a reference to the Bamber Silencer, DRB/1, because it had not yet been found)9th August 1985 - DCI "Taff"Jones, and DS "Stan" Jones, visit Jeremy at his cottage, 9 Head Street, Goldhanger, Essex, and s[peak to Jeremy about whether or not a silencer was fitted to the barrel of the Bamber rifle when Jeremy had last seen and handled it on the evening (6th August 1985) before the shootings? Jeremy had told the police there was no silencer fitted to the barrel of the Bamber rifle at that stage
(This could not have been a reference to the Bamber Silencer, DRB/1, because it had not yet been found)12th August 1985 - Peter Eaton hands a silencer over to DS "Stan" Jones, which DS Jones takes away to Witham police station. What is not widely reported, is the fact that this silencer was kept by DCI "Taff" Jones, on his desk at Witham police station, and used as a paper weight, until PC "Christopher Whiddon, came along towards the back end of August 1985, and took this silencer along to the force Amory, to see if it fitted onto the barrel of the bloodstained Bamber rifle. These actions were photographed which show PC Whiddon in possession of the aforementioned silencer, screwing it onto the barrel of the bloodstained Bamber rifle. Once Whiddon confirmed that it fitted the barrel of the bloodstained Bamber rifle, he handed it over to DI Ronald Walter Cook (SOC), who subsequently examined it on 29th August 1985

She subsequently hands this silencer back to Cook (SOC) who returns to Witham police station in possession of it

(This could not have been a reference to the Bamber Silencer, DRB/1, because it had not yet been found)29th August 1985 - DI Cook (SOC) receives possession of the silencer (which had previously been kept on DCI "Taff" Jones desk at Witham police station, and used as a paper weight) from PC Whiddon, along with the bloodstained Bamber rifle, and he proceeds to examine both, by dismantling this silencer and removing its baffle plates and resting them on a worktop where the bloodstained Bamber rifle had already be resting, exposing these baffle plates to the possibility of being contaminated with small flecks of dried blood which could have detached themselves from the bloodstained rifle. Cook (SOC) then rebuilt the silencer by replacing the baffle plates and once it was rebuilt, he physically screwed this silencer onto the external thread of the bloodstained Bamber rifle - this exercise was photographed
(This could not have been a reference to the Bamber Silencer, DRB/1, because it had not yet been found)30th August 1985 - DI Cook (SOC) submits a silencer to the Lab' to be examined by ballistic expert, Malcolm Fletcher, who upon receipt of it, undertakes an examination of it by dismantling it, in the same way that Cook (SOC) had done, on the previous day. Once Fletcher removed the silencers end cap, top washer, and the 17 baffle plates from within the tube, he found a small flake of dried blood which was trapped inside, between baffle plates one and two, that he handed to blood expert, John Hayward for analysis. It was also noted, at this time, that there was what appeared to be some red paint which was ingrained into the knurled pattern of this silencers end cap, which was later analysed by Scientist, Brian Elliot
