[FrankTank83]

My oldest was my first, an Iver Johnson single shot 410 my grandpa gave me when I was a kid. Serial numbers are hard to date on these some of these, but I would guess that it is 50s vintage. I date to 1980.

 

[bikeman]

It would be my Marlin 1893 in 32-40 dated to 1899 which is about 65 years olded than me.

 

[femurphy77]

Grandpa's 16 gauge semi auto shotgun, 1934.

 

[bigbang]

Old Enfield 30 06. Was my father in-laws. I'm gonna have to break that out and do some shooting in rememberance of him.

Not sure how old his Montgomery Wards .410 is, but it goes looking for wabbits with me several times a year. I know he'd get a kick out that.

 

[strokin7.3]

My Izhevsk 91/30 is from 1943, Izhevsk m44 is from 1945, and my Marlin model 39a is from 1946 if I dated it correctly.

The world was graced with my presence in 1988.

A little over 1/3 of my collection is older than I am
