These are and auction buy. I think one is an 1863 Springfield, not sure on the other. I am also wondering about value, I hope I didn't pat too much.

the Springfield is a model 1863 type 1 not a 2. The type 2 had barrel springs because the screw type band got loose during usage. Condition is a little ruff and the thing with the 63s is that you tend to see them in better shape than the earlier 1861 or the 42s etc. I don't know the current value but if I had to guess I would say maybe 700????

As far as the other gun I don't know but I believe it to be English. Originally flint and converted but that bolster does not look American. I think the gun is a fusil. Pretty cool but I yield to others who may be more knowledgeable
