Lehigh guns
« on: May 22, 2010, 03:39:56 AM »
How many gun makers are there under the "Lehigh guns" heading.  Could someone make up at least a partial list for a beginner looking to learn?

Thanks,
Bill

Check out this post.  There are photos I took of original Lehigh guns on display at Dixon's Gunmakers Fair

Can't go wrong with Ron Gabel's booklet ...."Thoughts on The Northampton School of Pennsylvania Gunsmithing"     Picked up my copy at Dixon's shop.
