B&W photo of Lee Harvey Oswald, Texas Theater, signed by arresting detective

Description

This reproduced B&W photo was signed by Dallas Police Detective Paul L. Bentley who assisted in the arrest of Lee Harvey Oswald on November 22, 1963 at the Texas Theater in the Oak Cliff section of Dallas, Texas. The added inscription to the photo reads: "11-22-63 assisted in arrest of Lee Harvey OswaXX  Paul L. Bentley."  The inscription in silver ink was smeared at signing so the last two letters of Oswald's name are not legible. The photograph was taken at the entrance to the Texas Theater in Oak Cliff (Dallas), Texas.
This eBay seller obtained this reproduced photograph and then mailed to Bentley in August, 1993, signed and returned.
Background: "Paul L. Bentley was one of the officers who arrested Lee Harvey Oswald, the man suspected of killing President John F. Kennedy and patrolman J.D. Tippit on November 22, 1963.
The police who swarmed into the Texas Theater only knew to look for a possible suspect in the shooting of a fellow officer minutes earlier. Detective Paul Bentley was one of them.
“At the time of the arrest I had no knowledge whatsoever that this might possibly be our suspect in regards to the assassination of the president,” Bentley told News 8 interviewers in 1963.
Bentley rushed to Oak Cliff to help investigate the murder of patrol officer J.D. Tippit, who was killed after he stopped a man fitting the description of the suspect in the president's assassination.
When police radios crackled that the suspect might be at the theater, Bentley rushed in, searched the balcony and then returned to the main floor to see Officer Nick McDonald struggling with an armed Oswald.
“When I first saw it, he had the revolver in his hand, pointing it toward McDonald," Bentley recalled in an interview with the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza. That's when I just tried to get as close to him as possible, grabbing for the weapon.”
They subdued and handcuffed Oswald, rushing him from the theater to a police car. "
