The first two pics are of an 11mm French 1874 Modele d'Officier. It is mechanically identical to the Modele 1873 Chamelot Delvigne, but lightened and blued with cylinder flutes. It was specifically designed for officers to carry.

Current value depends on condition, which can be substantial, and some better photos with better lighting and less close ups would be valuable in determining a value.

The other one looks like a typical late 19th century nondescript folding trigger revolver which were made by the tens of thousands in Belgium, Spain, Germany, etc. Generally they might fetch $100.00 to the right person.
