Some people argue it is the Marine Officer's Sword. The Marines adopted it during the 19th century after we invaded Libya.
There is an active duty Army unit that still has revolutionary war muskets (The "Old Guard"?) |

In terms of weapons, the M-2 easily.

Discounting the cermonial wea[pms (swords, 1903s, sabers etc), the 1911 is the most likely winner w/ modifications.
Unmodified would be tough to guess. K-Bar maybe? I am not sure if they still issue the leather gripped K-Bars anymore. P-38 isn't issued anymore but the T-Rats have the larger ones. Not sure when they were made. The original metal trays used for chow may still be an issue item or the mess kit. |

depends I'd go with the Ma duce only because the 1911 is not a general issue sidearm, it's only used in specialised units. While it's still going the MAduce is still the primary heavy MG is it not? That and wasn;t there a time when the 1911 wasn't really used anymore anyway(iisued for use in the field)? |

Ma Duece then. Dates back to just after WW1. I would take a Sabre into combat, guess I'm weird though. Seems like it would be good in the trenches or urban fighting. |

Well since you said 'military item' I would say it's the Helmet or knife/bayonet.

Helmet has changed many times over the years... Thats like saying we wear a uniform...we always have... Been wearing helmets since WWI I believe... Web belts, and army blankets have stayed pretty close to their original form.. Dog tags were round in shape at one time... |

A general issue item, still in service, its got to be something like a light set, butchers knife set, something that is still on the property books, but not used very often. prior to the MOLLE gear you still saw canvas H suspenders being used, even as late as 2002.
I had a 64 dated footlocker issued to me in 98, I somehow "Lost" it and had to pay for it LOL |

boots? I'm sure boot technology didn't change much from the time of the revolutionary war until after the civil war?? Thats a pretty long spread.
I got a great one. HORSES! 1000's of years. |

12 Guage 2 3/4" OO buckshot shotgun shells.
I believe they are/were in service since turn of last century and still in use today... over 100 years. |

The general officer's pistol belt is an issue item and old as dirt. Tough to find any info on it, though.

Issue shells are plastic. The DODAAC would have to have stayed the same and they haven't |

Same swords, same exact pattern?
Ummmm... they're not original muskets from 1775-83, they are modern reproductions from Japan and Italy. |
