And the 55 means
I tried to post the photo of the top rib but could not load it

The marking is "Parker Spec Steel", not Parker Steel. The PS means Parker Special.

You know what I meant. I was going to ask how you knew P.S. stood for Parker Special instead of Parker Steel since it is not marked PSS but then I remembered you were around and there when they stamped it and they told you that.
