What Is Your Oldest Firearm?
Mine is the Remington Rolling Block that is photographed in the 'Exhibition Forum'. I think it is 126 years old (1877).
Feel free to post photos or links.

1888 Chinese .318 Gew Kommission rifle. The wood is in great condition, but the finish has turned black. I have a large oval cartushe on the butt stock with four Chinese charactors inscribed in the oval.
I would like to clean up the wood, but I do not want to destroy any value to the mil surp! What do you think about my cleen-up idea?
Thanx Dante'

Mine is a .72 cal. Prussian "Potsdam" smoothbore musket, Model 1806, made in Danzig in 1835 as a flintlock and arsenal converted to percussion in 1845. I had the barrel relined in 2001 (now .69 cal.) and it shoots beautifully, tho a bit hard on the shoulder.
