1st one is a GEW 98- which was the standard issue rifle of the Germans in WWI, its a model 98 action. Thew Danzig arsenal made more GEW-98s han any other German arsenal.
From the looks of the stock on the second rifle, I'm pretty sure its a Mauser model 95. It could be a Mauser Model 93, the beset way to tell the difference is to pull the bolt and look at its bottom- a M93 will have a flat bottom and a M95 will have a round profile to the bolt. My bets are on the Model 95 though.
