My cousin from Vegas sent me this pic.
Apparently his stepson is a decendant of the Binion family...of the Horseshoe Casino.
Story is the nickeled pearl handled revolver is one of the Sisco kid's pair; gifted to Bennie Binion.

The Schofield was a horse trader's who traveled from Utah to New Mexico trailing horses.
Sorry guys I've got dibs on the Schofield if it comes up for sale.
I told him to get documentation on the Sisco kid one; even a written statement from an elder Binion.
His son may have to put them up to pay for tuition, sad but I'm sure they'll find a home...never know, might see them for sale in the next year.
Totally cool set of guns with cool stories too

I'm pretty sure the spelling is closer to "Cisco" actually.

I think the nickle revolver is probably a Hopkins & Allan...

The "Schofield" is actually a "New Model 3" S&W

I loved listening to the "Cisco Kid" on the radio, the wailing pronounciation of "Ciiiiiisco!" will always be with me....
 
I agree the top short top break revolver definitely looks like a Hopkins and Allen centerfire top break, could be 32 or 38 caliber. Sorry but the longer pistol is definetly not a Schofield, but most certainly is a S&W model 3 ? 44 russian
 
S&W N M#3 s dont have round latchs.
Tho it looks like a S&W NM #3 there were lotsa copys made so could be a copy it looks a little fat to be a S&W and the cylinders to short.
Looking at the bottom gun its for sure not a NM # 3 the cylinders to short the stop notchs are wrong place on the cylinder + a few other things as well .

Still nice guns and coulda been owned by who they said.
The top one looks real nice.

Aha the cylinders bothered me. The bottom one is probably a model of 1891 in 38s&w
