The oldest gun I have is a Joseph Barber Box Lock Pocket Pistol.
Its from the 1760's or thereabouts.
Not beat up now...
But when I bought it , it was a small pile of rusting parts in a brown paper bag.
The main spring was also broken. ( it is fixed now )
The safety is the trigger guard.
Push the trigger guard forward and the safety is on , pull it to the rear and its off.

I would have photographed my libido, but it is akin to an analog television picture... it keeps fading out. (BTW my pornograph is on the fritz again). Hey, YOU tell me what to to with a broken mainspring that is no longer manufactured and THEN we'll discuss it!

Bayonet trainer , Warsaw Pact.
The rifle and "magazine" are usually made of wood. Although I have seen 'em with a real AK magazine as well.
The barrel is a bit of stiff but springy rubber ... it flexes as it hits.
Saw a lot of these in Bosnia when little kids played "Army"
( would have thought that they saw enough of the real armies of various types that no would want to play ...)

Well done!

It is mostly wooden with a metal spring loaded barrel extension with a rubber tip for bayonet practice.

That is really sad to me. What was it a colt nomad or a high standard?

I don't really have any beat up stuff unless you count the 1950's Marlin good gun I bought with a broken stock and bent barrel for a project gun (someone had the bright idea to move grandma with grandpas guns in the bed of a truck without tying it down and had a major wreck on the freeway strewing guns all over the median), but it was cheap.


Here is the oldest thing I have that I can positively date: a 1952 JC Higgins (made by High Standard that year and in 1953) 12ga pump. It has a small nick in the metal and I have no idea how much it was used before I got ahold of it but I put many hundreds of rounds thu it and it is on par with my dad's old Rem 870 replica as my favorite shotgun - probably is my favorite because of the adjustable choke on it.

The pump slides like butter and I have seen videos of people using these in 3 gun comps because they are so well built and smooth.



It has the jeweled bolt and everything but it doesn't show I this pic.

High Standard, it was found by my moms husband in a dry creek bed just outside Blackfoot Idaho
