From the moment it arrived in the US, postal inspectors protected one of the world's largest diamonds. In this 1967 photo, inspectors Ralph Espina and Leroy Kingsland prepare to escort the Lesotho diamond from JFK Airport to Harry Winston Jewelers. Espina is handcuffed to a satchel containing the 601-carat uncut diamond and Kingsland carried a Tommy gun for the mission. |
