This is an old thread, but it is about old firearms so I guess it's ok to revive it since my oldest firearm has changed.

While it is not as nearly as old as the hand gonnes, I have the oldest firearm here so far that has been fired.

It is a 200+/- year old flintlock coach gun, with a 15 7/8" barrel.
