Gun Identification

Hey guys these are some of the other guns I found in my Mothers garage hiding in an attic. Any info on them is greatly appreciated !! I know the pictures aren’t the best I’m sorry. Also the first one (first two pictures) still has its ramrod in it

Nope that’s the problem. The percussion rifle has distelfinks and that’s about all I can find on them. Most of them are missing parts some less than others so I’m wondering if that’s where they’d be. On the first musket I posted I can make out the words “warranted” but the rest is rusted

Ok so I say with caution can it be taken apart without ANY chance of damage? Sometimes info was on the underside of the barrel. But again you may be better Tami g it to a gunsmith for his opinion

I’ll have to take it to the gunsmith. They feel pretty fragile to me, especially the wood. and I have absolutely no idea how to even start taking one of them apart.. haha. Thanks for the info! I appreciate it.

Have you tried opening the patchbox?

No I didn’t even think of that. I will tonight.

Can't tell much from pics..

Looks to be missing parts?

Is the bottom one a shotgun? Looks like it had a kablewie..

Puts me in the mind of a Stevens.

Very hard to tell from those pictures but they seem in rough shape.

I see two percussion muzzle loading rifles (not muskets) and a shotgun (are there more?).
All are probably original and if made by the right gunsmith could be semi-valuable.
The patch box looks nice on the one rifle and the other has a nice tiger strip maple stock.

If unsure of how and where to find maker's marks then have a gun smith look at them (as others here posted).

Much better pictures would help us-
Use a plain background.
Use bright diffused light -outside on over cast day is good not direct sun light.
Ensure camera is focused.

take them to a gunsmith...most local ones will give you an idea of what they are, how old, value, etc for free...
