What is your oldest firearm?

[MTlan66]

Winchester 1897 12 ga. Serial # indicates that it was manufactured in 1923, iirc.
Inherited from my Great Grandfather.

I have a first year production Winchester model 94 30-30 made in 1897. No pictures as it’s in storage because I’m in between houses at the moment.

Not trying to be a smart ass/jerk, but how can it be a first year production if it wasn’t manufactured in 1894?

I’ve got a 1903 Springfield dated 1906, otherwise my ‘32 model 12 16ga and a ‘37 model 71 win are my oldest.

Colt New Service from 1906 in 38/40, handed down from my great grandfather.

I just picked up a Winchester 1892 in the same cartridge from 1911. Been searching for over 10 years to find the cartridge mate to my revolver

I’ve always liked old guns and I enjoy shooting them whenever I get a chance.

My oldest is an all original Mauser Type B manufactured in 1904. It’s chambered in 8x57 and has the older .318 bore. The rifle is in Jon Speed’s book on Mausers.

I also have a Winchester 1885 made in 1911 that was originally a rimfire musket according to the serial number. By the time I got ahold of it, it was nothing more than a stripped down action. I had the rifle rebuilt by a gunsmith in Michigan named Steve Durren. Now it’s a sporting rifle chambered in 30 Army or 30-40 Krag.

I have another Type B manufactured in 1914 that’s chambered in 7x57. I bought that rifle from a pretty well known guide in Alaska named Phil Shoemaker.

And finally, I have an artillery Luger that was manufactured in 1917. Every number matches, even the magazine. What I’m missing is the stock.
