I'm not interested in either gun, but for the information:

The Vetterli should be in 10.4X38R; originally rimfire, some have been converted to centerfire. Lee makes the dies and brass can be formed from 8mm Lebel or .348 Winchester. To pin a value on it we need to know if it's matching, if the cleaning rod is there, bore condition, etc. It doesn't LOOK to be in that great of shape and these don't command a high price; I'd say about $200 tops.

The revolver is an Enfield 2 MkI* that has had the front sight removed, apparently by cutting down the barrel. While other condition factors and serials are still worth knowing, as is the gun's function (does it time properly, lock up solidly, etc.), as such it has very little value; perhaps $100-$125. Caliber should be .38 S&W.
