These are all guesses
Tops a percussion derringer, modern repro I'd guess
Middles a Marine 500/590 20" 12ga
Bottoms a Highstandard derringer

Done know anything about them besides wanting a 590 Mariner for a while....dunno if they ever did a 500version but they would look similar.
 
The bottom one is a high standard derringer. It is unique in that it is double barreled with a double action trigger. Chambered in 22 Mag.

These guns had a companion holster that could be purchased separately that effectively disguised the gun as a wallet. There was a hole cut in it that made it so the gun could still be fired while still disguised.

The gun with holster utilized is considered AOW by the ATF.
 
Top one is a reproduction derringer. It’s better than most of the ones available in the 1960s and early 70s but not quite up to the quality of the currently available Pedersoli.
Checking the Dixie Gun Works website just now I see the price of the Pedersoli offering is $550. I am appalled.

They did a 500 Mariner, my son bought one before he moved to HI. The surface is a coating, not stainless.
 
The shotgun in the OP isn’t a Mariner. The trigger guard shape is wrong-looks more like an 870-and the forearm has a section that covers the receiver when the slide is open. I’m thinking that’s a High Standard of some flavor that has been refinished.

the old-fashioned derringer is a repro one from a kit.
 
Dikar Spain .45
Remington Marine Magnum
High Standard DM-101

Dikar's nothing special.
Marine Magnums are usually undervalued for not taking into account the attention to corrosion resistance applied to internal parts.
The DM.... Let conventional High Standard considerations be your guide.

Those are my guesses.

I believe the Hi Standard derringer was available in both .22 LR and .22 Magnum. Always wanted one.
