The first could be a Manhattan "Hero", later model!! Mine is the same except it has an all round barrel, cal. is around .40 to .44 depending on the year, will check out further for the possible year!! The second "IS" a Belgian 5 to 10mm most likely a Lefaucheux. I have 3 pinfires and the 5mm is small in comparison obviously to the 7 to 10mm but look identical!! By the way the Hero is also known as a boot pistol. Joe
