Lehigh Valley "Liberty Lady" Pin
Mystery has long shrouded the carved and inlayed figures found on arms built in the Lehigh Valley region and occasionally eastern Berks county. Is it a woman with a hat? The American Indian leader Tamany? Some longrifle scholars now believe that the figure represents the "Lady Liberty", who symbolizes the revolution and freedom.
The Liberty Lady was often found carved into the stock just ahead of the triggerguard. It was also occasionally engraved on patchboxes or found as a silver or brass inlay in place of carving.
This design was modeled referencing two different inlays on original Lehigh Valley rifles by Herman Rupp. This pin is produced in pewter, with a tumbled finish, made 100% in the USA by a small environmentally responsible company. Each pin is individually packaged and displayed on an attractive figured maple background. Dimensions are 1 1/4" x 5/8".
Price per pin is $10 plus $4 shipping in a padded envelope. Pins can also be purchased in person at shows and demonstrations. See my schedule of events on the Contact page. Please email me to place an order. Thank you!
