I suppose it would have to be my 1903 Colt Hammerless that was manufactured in 1907. That's getting up there in the years and yes, it functions well and is still as accurate as they were when first produced. It's had all of the springs replaced... more than once I'd imagine.
I have several 32 Colt/H&R short black powder revolvers some by H&R, some by Hopkins & Allen, some with no names at all so who knows??? All date to the 1880's to 1910's from what serial numbers there are. All work although some are temperamental at times. An old 27 or 28 gauge shotgun that has no markings but it is OLD. It was converted to percussion sometime in the distant past.
I only own 3 guns. One was made in 2009, the other in 2007, the other in 1929. The latter is a Mosin-Nagant made in Izshvest and was purchased for me by my son for my birthday a couple years back. Fun rifle to shoot. Ammo is cheap. The other two are pistols.
By a strange coincidence, my S&W M1917 letters to this date, July 13, 1918. Delivered to Uncle Sam, Springfield Armory, Springfield Mass. That beats my Hand Ejector Model of 1905 (issued 1925) by a few years.
Winchester Pump 22 short or long rifle patented 1896
gift from my Grandfather 59 years ago. Gun is in excellent condition. I haven't shot the gun in30 years, but I clean and oil it routinely when maintaining my other weapons. Gun has tremendous sentimental value to me and I intend to pass it on to my grandson once he is old enough to learn to shoot and handle the gun responsibly.
Oldest I have right now is a Dan Wesson .44 Magnum. One of the first ones made, according to the serial number. The frame is a nice plum color, with the cylinder and barrel/shroud is as blue/black as the day it was made.
Oldest one I've had ever was a P-38 of WWII vintage, in bad cosmetic shape, but it shot ok. My neighbor wanted it badly and when he offered me a lot more than I paid for it, I let him have it.
Oldest gun is a Colt .36 Navy cap n ball. 1861 or so. My Grandfather bought it for my Pop when he was a boy in the 50's at an antique shop. All matching serials. Still fires.
Second in line is a Steyr 1916 in 9mm. My Dads buddy handed him a "bag of guns" he had hidden from his wife. Apparently my Dads buddy, who is around 75, got it from his father after returning from WWI. Came with a leather holster with cow hide or boar hair on it. Austrian Mountain Division in origin I think....
1903 Springfield, serial 1313xxx. My father bought it in the 50s for $50, I learned to shoot on it, and now it is mine. The barrel is a bit tired but it still makes good groups.
Pistol, is in brand new condition with politically incorrect ivory grips and embedded 14 karat gold Colt medallions. Functions flawlessly and shoots more accurately than some modern pistols.
