Hello Elliott,

Both appears to be Model 1873s (or replicas).  The configuration of both rifles points towards replica/reproduction.

What is the serial number on each gun?

The “fat” fore-end wood gives them away as replicas, though the bottom one looks like it was rode hard & put away wet

99% sure that they are reproduction replicas.  What cartridge are they chambered for?  Can you post clear pictures showing any markings on the guns?

Hmmm, they look like toys or wall hanger decorations to me.
