Need info on two 219 Improved Zipper rifles

I came into these two 219 Improved Zipper rifles built by A.R. Hartung of Pomeroy, Ohio. One rifle has a Unertl 20x scope, the other one has a Weaver K10 60-B scope. I know all about the optics. What I don't know is anything about the rifle and their value, and who out there collects such guns. There are a few companies out there that still make 219 zipper ammo, although I don't have any real interest in using these guns. The Rifle with the Unertl has been buffed so hard the SN is partially gone. The names on the rifle barrels look like the guns were made for father & son or maybe two brothers as they have the same last names. Thanks for any information.

A.R. Hartung was a prominent custom gunsmith and barrel maker based in Ohio, best known for crafting highly accurate, custom target and benchrest rifles. He is closely associated with Harvey Donaldson, a legendary pioneer in benchrest shooting and creator of the iconic .219 Donaldson Wasp wildcat cartridge
