What was your first gun?

Martini Henry Mk.IV, now returned to the country it was made in! Why such an old piece? Because my interest is in Victorian-era British rifles and rifle muskets, all black powder,
Good luck with your exploration of things firearm.

First gun was a Cooey 84 12 ga that I inherited from my father when I was 12. The gun has an interesting story. It was originally owned by Dennis T Olson, the country and western singer. He gave it to my dad around 1960 or so. My dad and his dad were good friends and my dad did most of the work on Dennis's first barber shop. Money was scarce back then and although dad didn't want anything, Dennis gave him the gun. All these years later, it still sits in the gun locker.
 
First gun was a 12g Remington 870 with wood furniture. I figured a shotgun would tickle all of my newbie fancies at the time. And as a new member at my club, I only had access to the trap/skeet fields. So with some 7.5 birdshot rounds, I can actually get out and enjoy my gun.
