I didn't change anything here.

act.item.c in bpl11.
But I didn't change anything in here either.

do_stat_object should have what the min_level is

I just increased values[] one more.

db.c              - New object reader (New format in .obj files!). Put

Of you just treat it as 1 more value, and before values are loaded, set 
the 5th value to 0, then if that value isn't there it will stay zero (at 
least it always has for me, I never went through all the object files and 
added the field as 0 and havn't have any problems)

Good idea ;)

that should be fine...
#define GET_OBJ_MIN_LEVEL(obj)  (GET_OBJ_VAL(obj, 4))

and a simple check in handler.c in equip_char() for level:

   if (GET_LEVEL(ch) < GET_OBJ_VAL(obj, 4)) {
      act("You are not experienced enough to use $p.",
          FALSE, ch, obj, 0, TO_CHAR);
      obj_to_char(obj, ch);
      return;
   }
