DH Hilliard .50 ML sniper style with scope, circa 1870. Shoots quite well.

Winchester 1876 in 45/60, lettered to 1881. Shot two deer with it before loaning it to the Buffalo Bill Museum a few years back. Have a good dozen rifles falling in the 1890-1900 range, mostly military. An 1894 Krag with ramrod channel, an 1890 Lee/Metford and two 1895 Lee/Navy rifles are the most interesting. Pre-WWI rifles have been regular companions when deer hunting for many years. This year a Standard Arms Model G in 30 Rem was used to take a spike buck.
Oldest handgun is a single digit, first model Iver Johnson break open revolver from 1894. I paid more for it than any other IJ pistol in my collection - a whopping $80.
Shotgun is a Belgian SxS guild gun of about 16 ga. Markings suggest 1870 time frame.
Have a blunderbuss that is guessed to the early 1700's at least but without any markings dating or determine a maker is not really possible.

1906 H&H Royal Dbl. 500/450 3 1/4” NE.
Next oldest is a H&H 375 Belted Mag Magazine Rifle on a Magnum Mauser, delivered March 2013 IIRC, just after the round was introduced in 1912.
Nice old rifles.

Factory engraved 2nd model 1866, mfg 1868. Nice!!! Guessing 44RF? Yup. Don't own a single round of .44RF tho. Wouldn't try to shoot it anyway. Box of those might be worth more than the rifle.

Like an idiot, I passed on a 1st or 2nd year 760 in .270, but did end up with an early one in .300 Savage. You did better with that 300 Savage. Very nice and it looks like the mag is matching as well.

30-40 sporterized Krag followed by a 1931 made Winchester 54 in 30 WCF. Both are neat old rifles now shooting powder coated cast bullets only!

I had a 1873 made in 1884, but sold it. The oldest now is a 1899 in 1907. It’s a 32-40!

Late 20's M94 30-30. Oldest shotgun is Belgian made underlever hammer damascus barrelled SXS 12ga. Probably 1860-1870?
