Die Casting Machine Tools Ltd.

As a DCMT/Lone Star enthusiast and student I would like to hear from anyone who has any photographic or other information on the DCMT Slikka Range Rider western cap pistol, shown in this advert.

There is a Lone Star Day the last Sunday of September every year at Whitewebbs Museum, Enfield , and all are welcome.

Remember going with my brother & Dad to the Palmers Green factory off Green Lanes in 1959 to choose a 'Lone Star' pistol & holster, my Dad at the time was a photographer who photographed some of their die cast items.

"Lone Star" was the Toy Division of Die Casting Machine Tools Ltd. of Palmers Green, London, N13, England, established in 1939. They were among the world's leading manufacturers of die cast metal model cap-firing guns, and model vehicles - road - rail - air. The range of Western-style pistols and rifles was first introduced in 1949.
