The E Whitney appears to be the real deal. I’m pretty excited. Still havent figured what the other pistol is. It has a larger bore than the 36 Whitney.
Nice find. Congratulations.
I think youre correct.

Nice looking pistols 
That Whitney is cool. I don't know if you've field stripped it yet - but look for identifying marks/numbers on the bottom flat of the barrel under the rammer. The serial number should be under each of the wooden grip panels as well.
They were in a gun safe in an old barn. Came with a Marlin 1897 .22 and a repop Springfield 58 musket. It was a great gun day.
I can never find barns like that!
That Whitney is a nice find!

Wow! I doubt if you paid too much - those revolvers are really nice and worth a bunch. If you tell us the serial number of the Remington we can probably tell what month and year it was made.

The "other Pistol " is a Remington New Model Army. It is a revolver not a pistol in .44 calibre.
^^^^ I dont care about the ATF definition. A revolver can be a pistol. Ha!
I prefer Pistola !

That 1863 might not be a repop. Be careful looking, you might have another exceptional find.
