Oldest gun you own?

[ShootnCut]

1849 Pocket Model Colt made in 1862.

jgreiner, I grew up just north of you and my dad gave me a 67A when I turned 12. I still have it.

I believe my oldest is this Marlin Model 80 with detachable 7-round magazine. Have never fired it. Someone gave me this rifle, and although I have a very vague recollection of them giving it to me, for the life of me I can not remember who or when, and shame on me for that. I'm pretty sure that it was between 1989 and 1999 when I lived in my previous house, but I am not even positive about that. I really wish I had made a record of this gift, its really in great condition for its age. The Model 80 was made from 1934 to 1939.

Husqvarna M38 made in 1943, it would be an awesome deer gun if Indiana would let me use it.

I have my granddad's 410, not sure how old it is though. I'll guess it was made in the early to mid 1930s. It's my favorite gun for sentimental reasons, if I can only carry one gun out of the burning house it's this one.

1945 Argentinean govt 1911

 

[1775usmarine]

My great grandfathers western field 20 ga double barrel. From my research and all its basically a Springfield 5000 made from 1920 to 1931. Now my neighbor has an old musket I believe. He found inside a tree while he was chopping down that dates to the late 1700's

1971 Ruger MKI Standard (I believe).

Was told it was a MKII, bought new grips for a MKII. Grips didn't fit, did some research online, was told it was a MKI Standard instead.

Fun plinker. Needs a new magazine though.

Mauser

I was going to post about my 1938 and 1937 Mosin Nagants, but I figured there were many others listed here that were older.

However, this past Monday, July 1st, I became the owner of an 1895 Chilean Mauser 7mm.

Tuesday I did some research on the puter and found out this rifle was actually built in 1895! The serial number is B2xxx, and according to what I read, this was in the third 10K rifle batch built.

Don't have any pictures yet, but I will put one up at a later time.

A Merwin Hulbert from the 1800s, that i may or may not sell in the near future.

I can't think off the top of my head what year it is... 1848 or 1851... Anyways, it's a Springfield .58 caliber. Everything is tight and in very good shape.

Of course I can't figure out how to post pics or I could show you.

My Arisaka T38 made in 1911

 

[sloughfoot]

I have a 1847 Colt Walker. But it was made in 1991. Does that count?

My oldest is a Hamilton No.27 boys rifle made in 1907. It is an early model with the stampings of the later model, difference being the early models have a brass lined barrel where later models have a steel lined one.

Didn't we do one of these threads recently?

Either:
Spencer rifle (original metal, possibly issued to the 72nd Indiana Mounted Infantry), late 1862.

Sharps & Hankins Navy Model carbine, all original, possibly 1862 also.
Both chambered in No. 56 Spencer rimfire.
