My oldest are, two M1 carbines, one is a NPM made in late '43 and a Saginaw made in early '44. Only a couple months apart in age. They make it to range about twice a year.
I am looking for the type rifle my Great Great Grandfather used during the Civil War, a Sharps rifle. They make modern copies but I'm looking for an original 1860's issue one. They're available but the prices are high and I'm shopping for just the right one. Also in the market for a Colt 1911A1 issued during WWII.

IBM M1 Carbine made in 1943-1944 It was rearsenaled with a Winchester stock and sent to Bavaria at one time.
I have Sistema Colt 1911 which was manufactured in 1951.
HRA Collectors Grade CMP Certified Garand 1954 exactly as it left the factory.
From there the res of my stuff jumps to the 60s. Browning High Powers, Colts etc....
