[Bobby in TX]

A single shot 12 ga that was passed to my grandpa from his dad, to my dad to me. Its about 110 years old near as we can figure. Could be a little older, maybe a bit newer, but a hundred years old for sure.

I have an original .40 or so flintlock, that was later converted to a percussion lock. It is undated, and has no makers mark, but I would guess it is at least 200 years old. Maybe that doesn't count, since I haven't fired it.

 

[forindooruseonly]

Some very early top break S&W .32 S&W Short. Can anyone give an estimate? It doesn't have a grip safety.

Pic would help. Double Action? Single? Does it have a trigger guard or not? ect.

My oldest is an old S&W DA .32 from the 1890s.

[henschman]

Eddystone M1917 made in 1917... I'm currently looking for a new barrel and GI stock to de-bubbify it and return it to its former glory!

 

[KansasPaul]

1917 (?) Enfield....... bought it as a "sporterized" project at a gun show a few years ago. I paid $100 for it complete with plastic aftermarket stock. After some much needed love and TLC its together properly, been coated, scope mounted, and it has proven to be a very accurate and fun to shoot rifle. I've got several rifles and handguns but this one has a special place in my vault.

 

[76shuvlinoff]

Monkey Wards Hercules break open 12 ga that I have no idea how to date and a 40s P38 dad brought back when he left WWII.

[Ringolevio]

My first 1911, as old as I am

I don't have anything really old, but the oldest gun I have, a Colt Sistema Model 1927 (it's a 1911 made on Colt machinery in Argentina) was made in 1948, which also happens to be the year in which I was born.

It's the first 1911 I ever owned; I have no idea how many rounds have gone through it, the sights are rudimentary at best, it feels as if it has a 60# trigger, and the hammer leaves me bleeding every time I shoot it.

But it runs smoothly and is more accurate than I am. And although I currently own two other, newer Colt 1911s, if I had to bet on only one it'd be the old Sistema. For being 63 years old, we're both in surprisingly decent shape.

EDIT: Oops! This is the Rifle Forum, isn't it? Well then, as SNL's Emily Litella used to say, "Never mind!"
