I’d say number two is THB but the third one is very much like my THHerc, Theo. Quite a squat inguinal visible on the right of the photo (torts left) or is that just the angle of the photo? A nice zig-zag seam and U-shaped suture, but I’m sure that there are others with more experience on here to confirm.
They all look lovely.

Thanks for your advice. I was Just thinking about t.herc and i checked, he has a single inguinale scute, one Is missing, so i think the same

Very few doubts about the second one, but about the darker one, the first...i'd say t.h.b. as well bit never seen like that

The first is very striking looking. I thought THB also but couldn't quite feel certain enough to type so.

The first one is definitely an eastern herman.
How old are they as very smooth.
