Three Kentucky Long Rifles

Here are images of three Kentucky Long Rifles that I need a bit of help from the experts. I have the opportunity to purchase these but need to know more about the guns and potential value. The photos are not what I would like to post but all I have at this time.

The first is a Tiger Wood that appears to have been modified - no flash pan.

The second is what appears to be a totally original piece but the markings are not clear. There is signature like engraving on the top of the barrel but worn to a point that I can do read it. I am post images of a carving on the stock but again not certain if this helps identify the gun. Hoping the stock carving an "star" might be helpful.

The third is marked as a John McCamant Wellsborough and has a W T Howell action. this gun does have a bit of rust near the end of the barrel.

    HMMMMMM . I do think they are original Not one that is newly made with an AGED with intention to deceive. With that said You need much closer Pictures of details dont try to get large sections of the Rifle at one time . Look at seller LOCUST FORK and how she post pictures of ever section of an ITEM GO to your local LIBRARY & see if you can find book showing examples of makers of rifles like your Three A expert with better pictures from you will be able to give you information on STYLE of each maker and what part of the country made THAT STYLE of rifle.
