This one looks lion, but I could be wrong though.

Claw is a tiger, Canines is not clear, it may be a lion.

The largest tiger claw is 10 cm over curve, but only 7 cm in the straight length.

So these lion claws still have the normal size.

Let's assume the volume of the canine as length x lateral x anterior.

The largest tiger canine as [168 x 51 x (51 * 0.7)] / [118 x 33 x (33 * 0.7)] x 86.49 = 294 grams.

So the largest tiger canine could probably weigh as much as 300 grams.

I previously used this comparison formula with other tiger canines, and it gave me a similar result.

The third one looks like a replica made of resin.

This could also be a high quality resin product, but I am not sure.
