Greetings all. Would you kindly help in identifying these two rifles?  Any and all information, recommendations, and critiques are welcome!

Thanks!

Your rifle looks very much like an 1850s New York half-stocked rifle. Details that support a New York origin include: deer on cap box's rear finial, single trigger, checkered wrist, and short forestock.

Are there any stamped or engraved names, locations, specifications or other type of letters or numbers on the outside or inside?
