The shotgun. It looks a lot like one handed down to me that belonged to my great grandfather. The one on the top...
Can you make out any of the markings on yours? Maybe we can work together to find out some info.
Where's sm when you need him?

The double 12 is marked Acme Arms Co. on the lock plates and Belgian Laminated Steel on the top strap.
I am not the one to ask.
Jim Keenan, Old Fuff, rc model, mnrivrat, for starters, have more knowledge in their little fingers that I will ever know.
May I suggest a PM to Staff, and see if it would be best to either post a new thread in "Firearm Research", posting the question and linking to this thread, or moving this one over there.
Thank you "dusting off" some guns and sharing the pictures! *smile*

Me thinks that's the distinctive side plate of a Nobel pump shotgun .
PS: The double is likely a Belgium contract hardware gun. Laminated is damascus, twist steel , and shouldn't be fired by the way. Even if in very good condition apperance wise they can be weak for internal rust in the barrel laminations.
The little auto .22 looks to be the Remington copy of the Browning auto . Looks like gramps gave you a few nice examples of what was standard shoot'n irons back in the first half of the 20th. Nothing special - just working guns with family history and that's special enough.
It is indeed a Remington model 241. The 12 gauge is a little loose to be shooting anyway. I shoot everything else pictured with the exception of the muzzle loader.
