Lone Star was an English company, Lone Star Products Ltd. Welham Green Herts., England, that capitalized on the surge of popularity of Toy Cap Guns around the world and made a lot of fine pistols that were for the American West.

Besides guns that were "generic" they also made guns that were dedicated to people like Roy Rogers. Some of their guns are among the rarest and are good finds for you collectors.

WE HAVE LOTS OF BRANDS OF CAP GUNS BESIDES JUST NICHOLS ON THIS WEBSITE.




	Lone Star 1851 Navy Colt



				It's a Navy model and it is "gold." I thought you would also get a kick out of the info on the back of the box clearly stating that this gun is not recommended for children under 36 MONTHS of age! You can tell by the cheap construction, no name engraved on the frame and the all plastic grips, it is truly the "end of the line" in the Lone Star history. These photos are by Chuck Quinn.

	Lone Star Ramrod



				This gun is RED!!! Who would have thought that any self-respecting kid in his right mind would want a red Cap Gun. So if you have one and don't want it, simply send it to me! Photos by Chuck Quinn

Here's a rifle from Lone Star that I had never seen before. I think it's a rather late model. For one thing, it uses the 8-shot plastic ring cap system.

This might be a cousin to the rifle above. Be sure to click on the thumbnail above to see the bigger photo.

Lots of companies made Tommy Guns, as they have always been popular. Here's another one, albeit pretty much plastic. The inscription on the rear of the receiver area says, "A LONE STAR PRODUCT."

Lone Star Super Presentation Set

This is a large Lone Star set that comes with the Lone Star Sharp Shooter rifle and a Pecos Bill gun. This deluxe set even comes with the Lone Star Rider cuffs and spurs and a Lone Star holster. All the items are attached to the box and have never been played with. This is a beautiful boxed set

Thanks to Scott McCollum, one of our many advertisers.

Here's a rather obscure offering from Lone Star that is basically a standard Smith & Wesson snubbie. If you click on the above photo, it shows another view that is even closer. This Cap Gun is only about 4 inches long.

Sticking with the small gun theme from Lone Star, here is their Snubnose .38.

Here's an interesting Cap Gun! It's a "Broom Handle" Mauser like the one you might have seen in the Western movie Joe Kidd. The real gun was one of the very first successful semi-automatic pistols. And...if that isn't enough, George Lucas added some gimmicks onto one and it was a "Blaster" used by Han Solo in Return of the Jedi.

Here's another one of these Young Mr. Churchill Cap Guns, but this one is in gold.

	Rare Roy Rogers Gun







	This is a rare 1950-1955 era Lone Star gun that was nickel plated and 9 inches long. It has a "RR" medallion on the handle and the grips are steerheads. Notice the lanyard ring underneath the grip. *Many thanks to Jim Schleyer of Western Toy Guns* (what we in the hobby refer to as Backyard Buckaroos) for this photo!**

Being the kind of guy that never passes up another good photo, here is an even better photo of the real thing, not a scan from a book of the same gun as that above. Be sure to click on the photo to see a really big one.

Lone Star Gunfighter

This is a very rare offering from our good friend Jim Manning: A Gunfighter! This Cap Gun is about 14 inches long!!! He says that it is one of the longest Cap Guns ever and I believe it. Unless you count that one that was in the first Batman movie that Jack Nicholson used. (Maybe it was a special Nicholson version from Nichols!)

Thanks to Jim Manning of JM Toys, one of our many advertisers.

This Lone Star Silverado set has some look-alike (look like Hubley's) Pioneer Cap Guns.

And here's few photos of the Rebel again and a nice double holster set, which is very rare.
Photo contribution by Scott McCollum.

Here's a fine collection of Rebel stuff from our friend Ed Manes. The Cap guns are Lone Star and the scattergun is from Classy...I think. I don't know where the other stuff is from. I guess it's from...Ed.

Lone Star Pinto

Here's an offering from Lone Star (of England) that you don't see very often and this one has a box! The Pinto. I don't know the date, but the Cap Gun is about 10-1/2 inches long.

Thanks to Jack Rosenthal of Toys and More, one of our many advertisers.

At least Lone Star kept you legal by providing you a badge.

This is an incredibly rare group that you will seldom see at all. I loved Zorro and so did most kids. The flintlock and its holster are by Hubley.

A very rare offering from England of a Hopalong Cassidy revolver. This is the only one like it I have seen thus far.

Here is a nice Dueling Pistol Set by Lone Star. It seems that every time I think that I have gotten all of the Lone Star Cap Guns, another one turns up. Hooray for England.
