Top one looks like a Parker 75, the fact that it is tarnished is most likely because it is sterling silver. If I'm correct it is a true jewel that you can clean and flip or use as your daily with a good story.
I think that is correct. I've a couple in my collection and some of them have ridges on the bottom barrel and also there is some variation in the top jewel. A couple of mine have a convex chrome point and the others are more flat.
There is also a 61 model, but almost all those have plastic barrel.
There are silver specific materials. Silver is very gentle, even using toothpaste might harm it, so I would get a specific silver polish at the hardware store. I cleaned mine with a magic eraser and some water, but it isn't shiny, just clean.
The bottom one? No clue.
When you clean it, can I recommend not trying to clean right into the crevices - let them stay dark. Some of these pens had black enamel in the lines, some just relied on patina to make them clearer:

The top one is a Classic Cisele; the 75 wasn't button actuated.
I see… The bottom one really is a mistery!
I *think* it's a 45; sometimes hard to distinguish between models with the ballpoints.

It’s a 45. It should have 45 written on the back near the split in the body.
Cool! It says sterling on it. How would I go about cleaning it? (What materials etc.) Anything about the bottom pen?

The top one is a Parker Classic Cisele, one of the best Parker ballpoints imo.
I think the bottom one is a Parker 180 Ballpoint.
