Oldest I have is a Marlin model 336 .35Rem bought by my grandfather in the late 40's I believe.

When he returned from the war, he bought a Remington pump .22 (not sure of the model), a Winchester model 12 16 gauge, and the rifle I now have.

He said that's all a man needed.

My cousin got the 16 gauge and my brother got the .22

My dad had a Colt .22 revolver that was gorgeous. Was really looking to inheriting it but his house was broken into about 10 years ago and stolen. Cleaned out the guns. Lost every gun that meant anything to me. We replaced them with new ones but they just aren't the same. Even took my first BB gun. It was worthless to anyone else, but it meant a hell of a lot to me.

A couple of the old 97 winchesters. One with the variable choke and one quite a bit older.
