I have 3 pistols I am trying to identify.

Only 2 of them have any physical markings.

The revolver looks like a Bacon. Second one looks like a bitza. Some original pieces. Third one is, I believe, a modern reproduction. Lots of more experts than me, but that’s my 2pence( I’m English)
 
3rd looks like a repro New Orleans Ace pistol. The first one, I think, is an Uberti maybe 36 cal or 31 cal. Dont remember. Second one no idea

I believe you are correct on the Bacon. Second revision. It does have engraving on the cylinder. I was not able to get a good picture of that.

I agree with you about the Bacon. It looks like the Gacon Mfg. Co Pocket Model Revolver shown on page 353 in "FLAYDERMAN'S GUIDE TO ANTIQUE AMERICAN FIREARMS", 9th edition.
The revolver shown in the book is a .31 caliber, 5 shot pistol. They are occasionally unmarked or they are marked with BACON MFG. CO -NORWICH, CONN or one of many different firms names who sold firearms.

As for the pistol with the brass barrel band, I have no idea. The small pistol with the ramrod on the side of the barrel is a modern boot pistol made by Ace. It has very little value.
 
Thank you all for your input. Number 1 and 3 I think I have. The second one - every Bitza I found is a flintlock and this one is not.

this is just making more curious.
