What's the oldest gun you got? (shotgun, Winchester, carbine, model)

What's the oldest gat in your collection? I guess for me it's a 1873 Trapdoor Springfield rifle. Three Lugers all over 100 years old.

What do you have?

It’s either my single shot Excel shotgun or our model 1911. Both early 1900’s both family heirloom guns.

I have several that belonged to my FIL with no serial number, so no idea how old they are. Oldest I am sure of is a 1956 Marlin 22 single shot. I have had it since 1956.

I have my grandfather's pistol. He carried it when he was a cowboy in Wyoming around the turn of the century.
It came accompanied with stories, lol.

Here's a picture, mine is somewhat browner but the engraving looks good.

This 1840s percussion single barrel shotgun brought west to Indiana then Missouri by my grandma’s grandpa.

Not a family heirloom, but my oldest shooting iron is a First Variation Winchester 1873 Saddle Ring Carbine, manufactured in 1876;
I also have a Colt Frontier Single Action to go along with it, made in 1883.

A Winchester made in 1911 that may or may not have been used in Bill Cody's Wild West Show. Most likely not, but not entirely ruled out.

My oldest is a 1953 Berretta 32 ACP pistol.

About 10 yrs ago, my inlaws gifted me a Colt Challenger circa ‘51 and it became my first gun. It was my FIL’s and before that his dad’s. It was well used, carried by them while trapping, plinking and for small game.
So at the tender age of 50 I started enjoying this hobby. And while the old Colt still shoots well, it doesn’t leave the safe often. It definitely shows it’s age and use, but knowing it has been in the family for 7 decades I will ensure someday it goes to my grandson to keep it going.
