Can You Help Me Identify This Parker?

[ShawnDaily]

I Recently got this gun at an auction. Tried Identifying what everything means, just looking for some professional help. Ill Try to attach all photos. serial number 56224 Frame size 5 barrel weight 7 13. Has a T marking and a h marking under barrel. No mark on plate where the barrel meets the stock. If anything is blurry in photos just ask me and ill go look at it to see. I greatly appreciate the help.

[Dave Noreen]

It is a Grade 0, Quality R. Pretty sure no one left alive knows what the X on the forearm loop or the tiny H on the barrel flat means.

So what confuses me is that it has ejectors. I did some research and it appears only grade one hammerless came with ejectors

Oh Okay thank you. Do you happen to know of these are Damascus barrels?
They look like Damascus but the stamp says twist. In case you couldnt tell this is my first parker

[Dean Romig]

Twist is sonetimes referred to as Damascus and I guess that’s not terribly wrong. Damascus, Twist, Laminated, Bernard and a few others are ALL composite steel, as in ‘composed’ of various blades of iron and steel twisted and hammer-welded and wound on a mandrel and hammer-welded into a tube.

5 frame guns are not very commonly encountered. I assume it is a 10g? Or is it an 8?

Neither of the hammers are original to the gun. The left one is not Parker at all, the right is a parker hammer, but not original to the gun. It is from an earlier lifter. It overall looks like a solid gun.

56225 is a 8 56224 not in the book. Very interesting

When I was headed out to the auction, I meant to take 8 and 10 gauge empties with me to check exactly what you are confused about. I forgot to take the empties with me. Looking at the breech face, I think the gun is a ten. We will wait for the owner to confirm.

Did you forget to take your wallet with you too?
