Great Grandfather's 1931 FN Belgian Browning made A-5. 1931 is approximated only because the FN factory was destroyed by the nazis in WWII along with all records. Supposedly one of the first 10,000 Browning auto shotguns ever brought in to the US, stamped Ogden, Utah.
My great-grandfathers rabbit ear 20 guage. Made sometime in the 1890's. My dad mailed home a WW-2 trophy in 1945. FN made SXS double made sometime prior to WW-2. Dad "liberated" it in late April 1945. Cost him $1.50 postage to mail it back home. Not as old as some, but a quality gun that still sees use and with a great story.
1874 Sharps that belonged to my grandfather in 45/70 he shot quite a few deer with it, in N.E. Wisconsin in the early 1900's, I believe he bought it used, but I'm not entirely certain.
Smith & Wesson Model 1½, which was sold by M.W. Robinson, New York City, on December 9th, 1869. BTW M.W. Robinson was S&W's largest distributor at the time.
I've got a few older rimfire rifles that date from the late 'teens to early twenties. And I'm putting the finishing touches on a rifle that has a rolling block action stamped 1869 but is updated with new furniture and a Shiloh Sharps barrel.
I have an old dimascus double barrel that I don't know the year but would suppose is the oldest...or a deranger type pistol that my gr, gr, gr grandmother carried. And she died in 1870.
