Wow, that covers a lot of territory.  That's kinda like asking "how much does a car cost"?

It depends on the accessories, year and manufacturers.
Probably one of the greater references is the KRA 2010 Presidents display CD.

Has lots of different angles and views of original guns from the area.

The suggestion that you get the KRA  2010 Presidents display CD is the best advice you are going to get reference your Lehigh questions.

I suppose I'd go out and buy some resource books on the subject to study.

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

The KRA CD is the money. Better pix than books offer.
