Let’s play the “What is it?” game!

[GAgunLAWbooklet]

Okay, let's try this:
Instead of identifying these guns by make and model,
Tell us WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM?

How'd the metal get all scratched up,
and gouged? Why did some of the grips /stocks need to get replaced?

Some terrible abuse
or accident maybe?

Heck, on one of them the frame is split and the pieces are pulled apart!

(I wonder if it's even safe to shoot?)

They're Tiffany guns

Yes, elaborately engraved modified (including metal working and gunsmithing work) stock replacement and customization,

all from Tiffany & Co. of New York City.

Tiffany's would sometimes make a presentation case for the weapons as well-- high quality well-finished wood with a velvet liner.

Tiffany's did this from about 1890 until 1911 when this product line was abruptly discontinued due to New York state passing it's ultra restrictive handgun law called "the Sullivan Act."

Martz is right.

That looks like a 9mm Laseraim.
