the one with the brass frame and the "squared off" looking barrel is a brass frame 1851 Navy style gun. If it is .36 cal, you could say it was a Schneider & Glassick replica, but it most likely is a .44. Cabela's sells ones like it now that they call "Reb Navys" I would use some brasso and elbow grease. They are worth no more or less than similar used replicas fetch on gunbroker, comparing to the condition of the gun. If they still have a good bore, they would prolly make great shooters. If not, they still will be nice as display pieces.
