I can't compete with some (most!😉) of you. I have a Daisy pump-action, BB gun, made in 1936. My grandfather got it for my dad on his 10th birthday. It has a little bit of "patina", but functions perfectly. Won't ever part with it.
I also have a 1944 Mosin-Nagant that, according to a local gunsmith, has never been fired, and probably never issued. I bought it years ago for the princely sum of $89.99...complete with bayonet, sling, oiling equipment, and belt.
And a 1917 Springfield "Eddystone", bolt action...the barrel hasn't even been shot out of it, and it's very accurate!!👍😉😄

Our oldes is a Mauser that’s been Sporterized. The action is from 1939. I’m not sure about the rest of it. The next oldest is from 1944. A late stage Smith Coronavirus 1903 A3.

I'd like to get my hands on a 1903, or a K98, but the decent ones are a bit out of my league as far as $$$ goes.

I'm having trouble validating there was ever a

Ruger

Single-Six Standard

.32 S&W Long

1971

54

The earliest Ruger revolvers chambered in a 32 caliber cartridge were the New Model Single-Six revolvers chambered in .32 H&R Magnum, with production beginning in 1984
Ruger's first 32 caliber was 32 H&R Mag, however I have found some reference of others to someone converting the 22 to a 32 S&W Long via bored out cylinder and barrel swap. This would still be strange as the 22 is a rimfire and 32 is centerfire which could be another issue. Photo of the left side Ruger frame and barrel would be quite interesting if you get a chance. If your frame is stamped 32 S&W Long, you have a very unique Ruger that needs a letter to go with it.

 

[mreed911]

It’s custom. Notice the overstamp of what appears to be a 2, so the .22 conversion you referenced. Picked up at auction.

Exactly what I was about to say because the grips are wrong, for the age, and the .32 appears deeper and darker than the rest, so it appears to be an over-stanp. Still neat gun if it shoots decent. Wonder how the barrel was acquired.

You definitely have a pretty good collection of oldies. Oldest gun I've owned was a 1907 Winchester 94 saddle ring carbine and like a FREAKING HOSEHEAD, I sold it years ago.,
