And here's information on the last Lone Star Rifle that Dave Higginbotham made:

Hello John, yes mine was Dave's last gun but was never serial numbered when I received it from Katha. I told Katha that when I finished it I would serial number it to Dave's life, birth year and death year, she thought that would be great. The gun was together and shootable, just lacking the final finishing when I sold it before my move to Oregon. A friend has it and was finishing the gun, it will be nice since he I very good gun smith and engraver. If you are interested I can give you his name and number, you may can buy it from him. Also if you are interested I have several other single shot rifles for sale since my interest have moved in other directions. Give me a call if you want to. Carey

Not from me George.  Maybe TexasMac?  Hello Wayne?
It would have to have many pictures.  If Dave took a picture of each rifle for his files and his wife has them - Perfect

Have a Lone Star roller in 38-50 that I'll likely sell this summer. Very nice rifle, but my safe is getting over-crowded and my 38-50 Hepburn is finally finished (picked it up from DZ Arms yesterday). For what its worth, Lone Star made an excellent rifle. Tragic about Dave's untimely end. Think the 38-50 is turning out to be about as perfect an all-around cartridge as there is. As accurate a Schuetzen round as any and still able to be competitive in all of the BP disciplines out to 600yd.

Sam - pretty Rolling Block with good looking CC.  Serial number is interesting - outside the range for those identified thus far.  Updated the list
Thanks
