Cleaning out our Grandfather's house, tucked away on a basement shelf in canvas bags. Found these 3 pistols. No backstory, no one knew he ever had these.

Are they antique? Prohibited?
None are in firing shape, but could/should they be restored?

Any idea on model, caliber, etc.? Or where I can look on them

I probably could get more pictures of wanted

Thanks in advance!

all prohibited
all beyond restorable and no value
really you should not post on a public form you are not allowed to even have them in your possession
they can not be registered to the owners
they are prohibited you do not have a pal for prohib

Middle and lower right may qualify as antique.
Upper left will be a prohib - unless it is rimfire. Then it might qualify as antique.

I am not in possession of them, so that is why I made the post looking for info
 
The middle is the most likely antique is my bet. The other two I question. It's best to take it to a dealer specializing in antiques/prohibs as Kot recommends. Value is minimal if prohibited, just about have to pay to get them gone as per registering them. Condition appears to be very rough. The top one maybe an Orbea, the other two are common pocket revolvers, they may have a name on the top strap or barrel.

it does not matter who has them they are illegal to own i'm certain who ever has them does not have prohib status so the holders of them are holding illegal hand guns

It’s actually does matter. You have no clue how the act prescribes rights to the executor of the estate or duly appointed firearms executor with respect to prohibited firearms.
