Don't need another Highlander (only one) thread... but I'm bored and I am curious what your oldest rifle is?

Mine is a saddle ring 1892 in 32-20 that left the Winchester factory in 1911. Still functions perfectly. One of these days it'll kill a doe just because.

Maynard Carbine, 2nd Model, 50-Maynard, probably towards the end of production 1865-ish............. It'll never leave the family, I hope, since my surname is Maynard, direct line all the way back to 1632, when G.g.g.g.g.g.g.g.g.g. grandfather John Maynard emigrated, and Dr. Edward Maynard is my 4th cousin, a bunch of times removed, 6 I think.....

Pistol would be the 1861 Navy Colt, originally belonged to my G.G. grandfather Henry H. Maynard. Pretty sure it and one just like it went on 'a walk' with G.g Granddad through GA a while back... Not that it matters, but not sure which would be more valuable, the pistol or the ORIGINAL slim jim holster....

I've got an 1896 Swedish Mauser from interwar production. I think it's '34 but I can't remember for sure.

Probably the oldest is a .410 single shot shotgun of unknown make. Based on what I know about who owned it, it's from the 20s or early 30s. The chamber was reamed to take longer shells sometime in the 50s.

I have a muzzle loader that has been in the family since the civil war. I have never found a name on any portion of it.
