Info needed it for these three guns

[German]

Hi every one I’m a new member here and my name is German, I have these 3 old guns since my grandfather died in 1966 at the age of 91, they've been in my possession ever since, I don't know much about old guns so any feedback or value will be greatly appreciated. Here is what I can see in these 3 guns alone with some pictures:
1- ) Colt Police Positive .38 (on the side of the barrel)
Colt's P.T.F.A. MFC. CO.
Hartford CT. U.S.A. Pat'd Aug. 5. 1884 June 5. 1900 July 4. 1905 (On top of the barrel)
The grips look like real pearl, I wonder if they are factory.
Gun looks in great condition. The serial number is 90215.

2- ) S & W CTG ( On side of the barrel )
Smith & Wesson Springfield Mass. U.S.A. Pat'd May 11. 1880 Jan. 13 1882. April 9. 1889 (On top of the barrel)
These numbers are on the bottom of the handle 516701
The chrome finish is not that good.

3- ) this gun is a JO.LO.AR. 1924 made in Spain 9mm 6 1/4 barrel, it was made in Spain.
Thanks in advance.

You might want to post your question about the Colt on the Colt forum.

And for the S&W on the Smith & Wesson forum.

There are probably some people with knowledge of the models you have.

The JoLoAr is a 9mm Largo gun and, as with all things Largo, info can be found here --> http://www.9mmlargo.com/joloar/index.htm at the Sociedad Largo Homepage. From that page:

Over the course of its production life the Jo-Lo-Ar was produced in 5 calibers:

• 6.35mm (.25 ACP)
• 7.65mm (.32 cal.),
• 9mm Corto (.380 ACP)
• 9mm Largo (Bergmann-Bayard)
• Americana 11.5mm (.45 ACP)

A 4mm subcaliber adapter was also available for the Jo-Lo-Ar, manufactured by Star Bonifacio Echevveria S. A.

Production estimates on Jo-Lo-Ars are in the neighborhood of 30,000 pieces with 9mm Largo the most produced caliber. Standard Sharp-Shooter production was much higher, Extractor Model Sharp-Shooter production lower and lowest yet were the few Sharp-Shooters sold without trigger guards.

Yours appears to be the rarest of the lot!

The Colt is a Police Positive (model) chambered to use either .38 Colt New Police or .38 S&W ammunition. The serial number indicates it was made in 1917, and the pearl stocks are a genuine Colt product.

The second revolver is a Smith & Wesson .38 Double Action, 4th model, made between 1895 and 1909. It uses the same ammunition as the Colt, but given it's age and condition I suggest that you don't shoot it with modern ammunition.
