Your oldest firearm?

[GJ1981]

So, what is the oldest firearm you own? I have a shotgun that was past down to me but I have no idea what it is given its poor condition.

 

[Archbishop]

I have a Wingmaster, and a Yugo SKS from 74.

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

I have an old Belgian-made double-barreled side-by-side 12ga blackpowder that dates from 1880-1890 or so.

Next oldest is a Winchester 1897 in 12ga made in 1912.

Luger 1916 Works like a charm. I think all of my Broom Handles are about 1930.

I've got a remington Model 1858 that was used int eh Civil War. Not sure if it's exact DOB, but obviously before 1865.

Also have a funny trio, I've got a Winchester 74, semi-auto .22 Rifle, a S&W K-22 and a Colt Woodsman, all made in 1947! I've got other, older ones and have owned many other pre-WWI guns, but few remain today.

Webly MK-IV from 1917. A S&W pre 10 from 1936. Both are still fine shooters. Ohya, the Remington 341P rifle that was my Dad's that I learned on from 1938. Then comes the M44 Moisen and the Lend-Lease Enfield by Savage. Well that brings us up to WW2 and modern stuff.
