    second to the left looks like it may be an "oswald" carcano, far right is a vetterli.

              Was there no description of them in the CL ad???

              Anyhow, to be specific, the Vetterli shown is more than likely an Italian M70/87/15.
              First produced as a single shot, the model 1870 was chambered in 10.35x47mmR. In 1887, the En-block style magazine was added to bring the capacity to 4.
              In the early 1890's, the 6.5x52mm Mannlicher-Carcano cartridge was introduced and officially adopted, then later during WWI in 1915 with the surplus of near obsolete 10.35x47mmR M70/87's on hand, they where then converted over to the more newly and readily available 6.5 Carcano, thus the rifle then became the M70/87/15. A nice antique rifle that have quite a history.

                  Not sure about the left one, but second from the left is a Gewehr 1888, then a rolling block, then a Vetterli converted to 6.5x52 carcano as noted above.

                    I thought the 3rd one from the left is a Gewehr 99 but that bent bolt is throwing me

                        This. I knew it was a Winchester, but I couldn't the model number.

                        It is a Commission Rifle!

                        I thought it was a M91 Carcano at first glance because I have seen them with bent bolts, but never a 1888....

                            The GEW88 has been "Turked".
                            The rolling block is a Remington No.1, Black powder action.
                            The Winchester is a Model 62.
                            The 1890 had a crescent buttstock, 1-18 twist octagon barrel, and was one caliber specific, Short, Long, or WRF.
                            The Model 1906, was an 1890 with a 1-16 twist round barrel, flat buttplate, and the cartridge lifter was modified to handle Short, Long, and the then new Long Rifle.
                            The Model 62 was a 1906 with a long forearm.
