Oldest models and textures we know of that are in the 2003 leak?

[Bruner]

Been interested in knowing just what the oldest assets we have are.
Specifically, models of characters, props, just anything really.

I imagine probably Borealis maps have oldest models. Can someone confirm or deny?

demo_arctic has the oldest brush work dating back to 1999,
but oldest model i'd have to guess something like the hmg or jaytest

The oldest model version in the leak is used for some pipe model. Forgot what it was exactly.

I assume this asset was intended for Hyperborea/Borealis maps?

I wouldn't rule out HMG1 or Jaytest either. Those models are very primitive looking, especially the HMG1's even older viewmodel than the one typically used in the beta.

You can check testroom_devhell1 map from the wc-mappack. It was last edited at July 10th 2001 and I suppose it contains most of the models and textures that were in the game at the time, so you can assume some of those should be older than others.

That map, randy/testroom_devhell1, is also notable for having the missing/unknown skybox "sky_c17_morning01". (it's not the only map with it - some other test maps from the same year or older have it (namely, VanceHQ), but I didn't notice it until I checked testroom_devhell1)
