Xavier, a photo of the Head stamps would help on those.

The first one, I'm clueless.

2nd looks like Brit 303.

3rd 45-70?

Last one is .38 specail I think.

Again Head Stamp is the key.

Yep I know but the thing is that the first one don't have a stamp and the third one I cant make out so will have to clean it more than I'd like to the third one is not a 38 too big I think that it's a 44 and like you said the second one is a 303. What should I use to clean them?

Yeah that empty headstamp will be the Martini Henry, the nice thing on that is it is easy to see what it is..... Date is a problem though..... It will be interesting to see what you have there... Great
