Lehigh County Rifle
Kentucky rifles from the Lehigh area of Pennsylvania were influenced by other makers and continued to show many of the "classic" Kentucky rifle features.

Stocks were generally of fine curly maple and when that could not be obtained the curl was often imitated by artificial means. A distinctive feature of these rifles is the broad-wrist, a detail present in early models of Kentucky rifles produced elsewhere but continued for some time in this area.

The Lehigh rifles commonly used the scroll designs carved in relief around the stock. The patchbox was similar to the Allentown rifles but the Lehigh makers incorporated more engravings and their design was more complex and ornate.

A good example of the workmanship from this area are the rifles of John Moll, Jr., whose rifles are depicted in several books on the Kentucky rifle. Moll's work was often marked by careful and detailed carving behind the rear ramrod pipe.

The stocks we produce for this type rifle are historically accurate and correct. The maker who wants a little something "extra" from this period would do well to consider the Lehigh as a well-designed and interesting firearm that can take its place over the fireplace or on the firing line.
