KRA Lehigh Valley CD

[Tom Currie]

For those of you with an interest in Lehigh Valley rifles I thought I'd mention the outstanding CD recently offered by the KRA whichs includes about 10 high quality pics of each of 20 rifles and a couple of pistols. A couple from Kindigs, a few more from RCA and the  about 14 I hadn't seen before. Lots of eye candy and I feel a  tremedous resource to builders. $ 20 plus shipping and handling. Can't beat that.

One thing I found interesting is that Herman Rupp's work seems very close to John Moll while John Rupp's ( can't say if that's JR 1 ot JR II ) work has  decorative elements that has more similairity to work done at Christian's Spring.

I very much agree with Tom's description.  Some of the best money you could spend.  Fantastic eye candy.  You will need a towel for the drool though.  The only thing missing are some measurements, and info about caliber, plus rifling or smooth bore.  I love the unknown rifle number one, with it's simplicity, in lack of carving, and inlays.  I've spent at least an hour a day ogling the pics, for the last five days since I got it as a Christmas present.
