I have a 6.5MM M96 Swede Mauser built in 1898.
It has excellent craftsmanship and can hold its own in the accuracy dept. with any modern rifle to this day. Its a beautiful rifle.

Don't have a pic of it but my I inherited my Grandad's shotgun that he had purchased a couple of years before he died. I am told he was a pretty good shot with it and it was his favorite. My dad gave it to me when I was 12 and it was the first shotgun that I ever hunted with. Its a Winchester Model 12 in 16 gauge. It was produced in 1929.

I think my oldest is a "Colt Navy .36 cal revolver", it was made around the 1860's. It's in good shape, I had it inspected by a gunsmith and he said it would actually be safe to shoot. Of course I have no plans on shooting it, but that's nice to know. I'm amazed at the workmanship from 150 years ago.
