anybody got pics of old guns they have?

Smith & Wesson Model 1 1/2 revolver in .32 rim fire short. I had the gun "papered" by Smith and Wesson.
It was sold on December 9, 1869 in New York City (no Sullivan laws, I guess ) through M.W. Robinson, S&W's largest distributor at the time.

M2 HB.1942.

Cost me a whopping $1500 USD.

Its not the oldest,but its my favourite.Outside the US automatic weapons are not that expensive.The process of obtaining the correct License can be long however.

I'm going to add a few more. I'm not sure how old they are, but they're at least forty years old. Probably older.

Ithaca 49 Single Shot 22. I'd like to know how old this one is. I remember seeing them at Sears in the 60's.



Stevens 46, 22 S,L,LR. Again, no idea how old, but it doesn't have a S/N so that should put it pre 1968.



These are old enough to be C&R.

Yugo SKS. 1956 IIRC.



Chinese Type 53, Mosin-Nagant.

Made in the late 50s. 44 Mag.

Nope. Serial Number 80-45425 was made in in 1972, not the late 50s.
You can go to the Ruger website and find date of birth for all their guns.

wooow.

a few of mine

1960 S&W Model 10, no dash.
Pre-1898 receiver Finnish M39

....

Yeah, shoulda said I bought it around then. Been a while. Thought i bought it right before I bought the house in Cross Lanes (1969). Also bought this is mid 70s. So many guns, so little time. Can't find a picture. Net copy.

Lets see if I can get this one right. Dad (rest his soul) bought this around 1955 at Casto's Hardware in Nitro WV. Barrel marking BXX. Those Xs are real Xs. Means Jan 1951.
Below it is a M29 bought around 1975 in Cross Lanes WV. Ser#403xxx. Anybody know date of manufacture?
Thank you for the correction ISP.

beeenbag, I LOVE them! My 1st I got when they were 1st introduced. The one I have now is to replace that one. It is for my wife. The 1st gun she ever shot was my 59 and she has been upset that I traded it off to pay a tool bill many years ago! I promised to replace it and I did.

A few of em. Top to Bottom. 1872 New York State 50/70 Remington Rolling Block, next is one in better shape, A modelo 1879 43 Spanish Argentine contract rolling block, trapdoor, 1898 Krag

1963 Rem 742, 6mm





1905 CG





WWI era Austrian flare gun

Colt M1911A1, circa 1953. Lend-leased to the British.


Previous owner did a lot of work to it. Replaced the thumb safety and hammer, had it reblued, the barrel jeweled under the ejection port. It really is a sweet shooter, with the best trigger I've seen on any handgun.

I've posted these before so some may have seen them, but this is the type of thread I get all excited about. Love the old stuff.

1917 and 1907 Savages.



Colt 1903 and 1908.



Colt Camp Perry and a High Standard Model B.

nzsr, what caliber is that lead chunker?

The oldest gun i have is a newly aquired, from my father, Tokarev. I believe it is stamped 1950 or 60. I also have a 20ga Mossberg bolt action, circa 1960. I'll post some pics soon.

Howzabout a 1930's Stevens Ideal in .25 Stevens Rimfire?



Or a late 1850's Smith Carbine, used in the Civil War by the 7th and 11th Illinois Cavalry?
