SOLD--Various old handguns, rifles, shotguns for sale

My wife posted all the pics to a webpage.
https://www.corvidscache.com/guns.html
Each firearm is numbered (H for handgun, R or rifle, R_S for shotgun), and the photos of each are stacked vertically. Below the pics is the make and model number, as best as I can determine.
Please note that some of the descriptions are "best guess", as are the calibers of the bolt action centerfire rifles (e.g., Mauser and Enfields x3). If I have mis-identified an of them, feel free to correct me.
I am having a hard time finding values for these, and am asking for reasonable offers. If you want to make an offer on the lot, let me know.
Email is rich at rabidjackal dot com.
I am in Lewisville, firearms are stored in Denton.
Thanks to all.
Best, Rich

Are we able to see/handle any of these?

I am a little interested in R5 and R6. Are they functional?

C-Dub--
Yes, please email me or pm and I will give you my number. I will be happy to arrange to meet with you.
My belief is that all firearms were functional when stored. Little dust here and there, and could use a wipedown with an oil rag.

Best, Rich

I know orionengnr doesn’t post a lot, but I know him personally if that means anything to you. He is a first class member and a honest man.

I've been corresponding with him and spoke with him as well and I am of the same opinion.

Item #3 (Derringer DM-101) is spoken for.
Thank you!

I also need to update a few.
Item R-7, upon further review, appears to be an 1893 Mauser in 7 x 57, original stock (not sporterized).
Items R-5 and R-6, the two Winchester pump .22s, both appear to function correctly.

I have some additional info on the Enfields, and will ask my wife to update those on the webpage. In brief:
Item R-9 appears to be an Enfield No 4 Mk1, stamped "1943", .303 Brit, sporterized
Item R-10 appears to be an Enfield No 4 Mk1 sporterized (and stamped) "Golden State Arms Santa Fe Model 1944" (more at: milsurps.com/enfield.php?pg=sp3.htm)
Item R-12 Eddystone US Model of 1917 (manuf by Remington) sporterized .30-06

All have been wiped down, had a solvent patch or two run down the bore, bit of lube and wipedown with an oily rag. Function checks (without firing) and all appear to function correctly.

Any more questions, or if you'd like a look at any of them, please contatct me.
Thank you, Rich

Okay, I am going to try and post a few individual ads that may have better description, pics, etc.
Several members have helped me with better identification, description, and perhaps values.
It will take a few days to get through these, so your patience is appreciated.
Please keep an eye out, and all questions and comments are welcomed.
Best, Rich
