Needs help identifying
I identified one as a McDermott D-23, as for the Viking cue, does anyone have any info on it? Series or model? I'm actually happy I found them because I just picked up playing again and never owned my own previously (these belonged to my late uncle.) Thanks for any info.

Also, I might want to furbish the McDermott, any info of where is good? I don't mind sending it somewhere as long as it's got it's credentials.

And while we're at it, does anyone know the value of either?

The Viking is a V2L From the Millennium 2 Catalog from 2000. Original price is $400.
Viking and Mcdermott will do cue repairs.
The Mcdermott has a Market Value of $855 and was produced from 1984 to 1990 , per McDermott's web site, but I am sure that is for one in pristine condition.

Thank you so much, I had trouble finding the Viking one. McDermott was a bit easier since they have their retired catalog up.

As far as the McDermott, send it back to McDermott!
They offer cue refurbishing, and may still have the original butt caps, will be able to properly clean & press the Cortland wrap, use the correct finishes, etc.....call them first to discuss, they're good folks.
The D series remains an excellent cue; if it was mine, I'd send it back & have them make a few new shafts for it. You've got a keeper there.
