What's the oldest gun you own ?

[hiawatha]

Right now, it's an 1891 Argentine Mauser made in 1893. That's a year older than my 1894 Gew88. I did have an 1858 Remington New Model Army.

 

[PapaG]

Henry Leman of Lancaster PA percussion squirrel rifle. 38" Octagon barrel, half stock with pewter forend cap, deep rifling, cap box in stock and brass tacks put there by someone years ago. Somewhere around 1860, I'd guess. Only flaw is the hammer had broken and was brazed back together. Bought it out of an estate.

 

[BrainOnSigs]

1939-40 Walther PPK my uncle brought back from WWII Germany.

 

[allfouledup]

Argentine contract Mauser model 1891 made by DWM. Still a good shooter. Actual date of manufacture unknown.

[RugerBob]

I have a nice Ithaca SxS 12ga that I use all the time in cowboy shoots. 100 years old this year!

 

[BigN]

I have an old Belgium Browning 12 ga. It's the ugliest (and heaviest) thing you've very seen but it still shoots. My grandfather owned it and I'm 53, so it's pretty old. It just sits in a corner in the case.

Oldest Gun

Mine is a common Sears Model 200 Pump Shotgun (Winchester Model 1200)given to me about 45 years ago by my Father. It is also the most valuable (to me) gun I own.
