What is your oldest made gun in inventory?

Swedish Mauser, 1914 manufacture, 96/38 or whatever one calls the 96s with the cut down barrel length but straight bolt handles.

Carl Gustafs 1913 followed by Lithgow SMLE 1920

Swedish Mauser dated 1900 made by Mauser in Germany. Beautiful rifle, perfect metal and no dents in furniture. Believe it was modified to carbine length at sometime in its history.

1816 springfield used by our family in the civel war !

Oldest gun I own is A 1941 Winchester model 12. I don't think they have made A better shotgun since.

Update: oldest gun in inventory is now a model 3 Iver Johnson .32 cal Hamerless.

I have a Mosin Nagant 91/30 made in 1942

1873, 2nd model, shotgun butt / half mag / morning/noon/night front, original lyman tang peep, mirror bore, complete, original, 38 wcf, 85%, letters, made 1883

1886 deluxe takedown pistol grip, 45-70, letters, 99+%, made 1901

1892 32 SRC, 98%, made 1919 if I recall correctly

1877 Colt SAA, originally chambered in 45 later rebarreled to 44-40 for use by a Wells Fargo rider complete with W.F. & Co. markings and issue numbers.

Oldest cartridge gun is an 1875 dated Enfield Martini-Henry carbine in .577-450.

The R.I.C. unit disk on the butt makes this a Martini-Henry Mk II rifle that was converted to a carbine for issue to the Royal Irish Constabulary in the 1890s, when the British Army was converting over to the .303 Lee Metford, and the older single-shot .450 calibre rifles were withdrawn from front line service and issued to Home Guards, Militias, and Colonial Police forces around the Empire.

Mine is a Winchester 1876 .40-60
Production year, 1894.

Mine is an 1861 Springfield, made in 1862 with original bayonet. Love it would never sell it.

German bird gun. Halfstock, about .50 cal. Easily less than 7 pounds. Made in the popular Spanish style. Lock is from Suhl, the gun probably is also, or near there maybe. Approximately 1720.

Funky little Miquelet lock musket. As it's functioning fine - I'm definitely shooting it. Gotta get me some little bitty percussion caps though.
