I hope you can get some good Lehigh rifle pics and then post them.  I've always had an interest in them, have only seen and handled a few.  Would love to see more.

Nice Hellertown Moll right in the middle of the picture!

(at least, that's what it looks like)

The vendor was out of SAN Diego, Calif.

I am currently putting together a Lehigh from a partial kit I picked up. These are first actual Lehigh's I have looked at in person and I was struck at how slim they are. I can see I will be challenged(probably beyond my skills ) to get them Down to what these are. The stock I am working with is way way larger than the originals disputed being precarved.

Yes, that's all Mike's stuff.  Great rifles and a truly great guy.

Thanks for adding that photo of the Lehighs, Treebeard.

Man, I just really dig that classic wrist-to-toe curve.  The very first original MLR I ever saw was a Lehigh, and at that time, nobody (at least, nobody I asked) seemed to know who had built it, or where it had come from... but that bottom curve surely did stick with me.

Dave-- now I wished I had taken more and better pictures. The Lehigh's caught my eye but there were many others in different styles original and comtemporary. I have not had a chance to get to the events east of the Mississippi so Tulsa has been my chance to see originals.
