Looks like German "RG" single action 22 cylinders to me.

No bells rung except the far left... (reply)

but it's marked wrong. Need an H&R 22 LR cylinder for my brother-in-law. Also need to confirm if it's six or nine shot...

Can't say with certainty... (reply)

but they do not look to be Rugers. The Single Six has "squarer" ratchet teeth. I do not own a Colt but I seem to remember the teeth on the Colt were more "swoopy". Sorry for all the technical jargon.

Found the one on the left, it's an H&R (reply)

The other 3 are still unknown.

I came across some cylinders in my travels today, and these 4 are eluding my smarts.

The 3 on the right are identical, except one has an "M" stamped on the face. They aren't Ruger, just a tiny bit longer and the star is a bit smaller. The one on the left is unfluted, marked .22 WMRF, and has a tiny star.
