Look along the sides of the barrels and on the sides of the frame, if any markings are there that is where they usually show up, the top one, I can't really tell much about it except that it is a break top revolver that appears to be .32 cal? I'm guessing and the bottom, in all honesty, looks like a blank firing starter pistol (you know like the little pistol that a guy at a race fires off to start the race) but I am not positive about that. Is there any serial #'s or a mfg's name on the guns along the sides of the barrel or frame, also check on the bottom of the grip for serial #'s.
After a little bit of looking through the internet, I am going to go on a limb here and say the black revolver in the bottom pic is a Vanguard .22cal blank 8 shot starter gun from Traditions firearms. Possibly an older model from their Vanguard starter gun line, if so then it's value is probably less than $15.00/USD. Can anybody else here verify this?0 -
Hello, the top one looks like one of the H&R top breaks I have. It may say something on the top of the barrel rib.

The top revolver appears to be a "Harrington and Richardson" "Automatic Ejection Double Action Revolver" Model 2. they were made over a 50 year period strectching from the late 19th Century to W W II. They were made in great numbers (well over a million). Generally they dont have great value, even when in excellent condition. 0 -
rldowns3 is correct about the bottom picture. Tis a Vanguard starter pistol. If you look at the end of the barrel you should see an obstruction, as well as in each chamber of the cylinder, so that live ammo can not be fired in it. Top picture is a Harrington and Richardson, has the target with bullet holes on the grips. Not worth alot in terms of cash , but since they were your fathers I would assume sentimental value. 0
