mine are more modern. My oldest gun is an SMLE, it's a WW1 era gun, but it was made in the early 40s in India..

Also have a Mosin Nagant M44. Carbine version of teh gun used by Zeitsev in his snipering, portrayed in enemy at the gates.

I own an old musket that has never been restored and is quite faded. ( I don't know the age, but my grandfather had it as far back as 1870)

It will be passed on to my son.
A gun collector said it wasn't very valuable due to the huge amount of them made during the civil war.

I'll just keep it in the family and pass it down for sentimental reasons.

I have a 1918 SMLE made at Enfield. A good shooter too though I haven't gone shooting in many years.

No antique guns, but I have an early century Argentine Mauser bayonet that's been well cared for (no idiot has filed the blade or anything).

I have reproduction historic rifles, does that count?

Flintlock longrifle
Hawken
1860 Henry
Colt Navy revolver

Guns are for shooting...I'd have no use for one that couldn't go "bang"
