ID flute/fife?

[Angel of Mercy]

I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I have two fife/flute like instruments. One is made of wood that I got off of ebay back in the early 2000s; and the other I purchased at an antique store (the man claimed it was a German Silver Fife form the Civil War era, the price made me doubt his time frame).

I will describe the two below, and there should be four photos (Ihaven't mastered the photo attachment on here yet):

Wood flute/fife
-Three pieces
-Faded makers mark on head piece and body piece
-Tread wrapped on body piece
-Brass key on foot joint
-Brass rings
-15.5 inches long





Metal flute/fife
-Two pieces
-No makers mark
-Silver plating chipped/rubbed away to show brass??
-Tuning slide/knob
-17 inches long





Being a flute and piccolo player I wanted these for my collection but I am not sure what they are...

Thank you!
