First one's an Astra 300. Reasonably popular and well-built Spanish straight-blowback pistols.
Second one looks like a Webley British Bulldog in one of the smaller calibers (.320?), or more likely one of the legion of Belgian copies thereof; I don't know if the hinged trigger was an option on the Webley, and certainly not the standard set-up. The Bulldog was immensely popular circa 1880, and were even quite common in the American west.
Number three is probably a Belgian center-fire revolver, swing forward, simultaneous ejection. Couldn't tell you company, though it's probably made in Liege. There were hundreds of independent gunshops, until a bunch banded together to form Fabrique Nationale and the rest either conglomorated or dried up.
Any markings?
Those are some cool pieces your friend has there. No idea about value, but certainly worth a few style points.
Cheers,
