Oldest one in my pitifully small (compared to some people) collection is a Remington Mdl 33 single-shot 22; the one that, when you close the bolt after loading a round, you have to pull back on the bolt-plunger before the trigger can send lead downrange with surprising accuracy and prescision for some weak sights. "Best guess" based on the serial number comes in around 1934. Somebody (I guess) asked me to "hold on to it for them"; only I don't remember who or when, and nobody amongst my circle of friends and family has any clue either!
Wish I had my Dad's '98 Mauser. Stampings on the barrel indicate that it was of Czech manufacture (BRNO) in 1938. Beatiful rifle, lockwork smooth as warm butter. Brother gave it to my sister's son..... I haven't forgiven him for that.
Some of the respondents to this thread have "oldest guns" that are decades younger than my "newest guns"; unless I count the two repro Remington BP pistols I bought in the last couple years.
1882, I found it as a child cleaning my Grandmother's garage attic. Includes documentation that it had belonged to my Grandfather. It's the real deal, a Colt .45, original (I assume) ivory stocks and nickel plating. Also some shells marked UMC, very soft lead bullets. It was in near mint condition, it was allowed to deterioate some in the intervening years, but no longer.
19?? iver johnson 32 s&w short top break revolver in chrome/nickel. Was my i believe grand fathers service piece. and a 1937 winchester model 62 .22 pump
An old cap and ball pistol, date on the bottom says 1861. Just starting to look for more information on it, so I don't have much to tell yet. For all I know, it could be a reproduction.
My great grandfather gave my grandfather his first rifle, a 1907 Stevens Jr. .22lr. He passed it down to Dad, who passed it to me. I'm keeping it safe for My oldest daughter who starts college this fall. I never knew my grandfather, but thanks to this little Stevens Jr., my passion for firearms was born almost forty years ago.
Colt New Service in .455 Eley. Produced in 1914, killed a wild pig with it last year. Plan to shoot another with her in 2014 to celebrate her birthday.
Smith and Wesson 3rd model top break .38 S&W hammerless revolver. I believe it was made between the late 1880's and mid 1890's. It belonged to my Great Grandfather.
I have a Harrington & Richardson 12 ga, single shot made in 1900, and passed down from my Grandfather to my Dad, and now to me. It's still in very good condition, and fully functional.
