R stamped M1911 barrel

**Butta85** · 04-10-2016 04:29 PM

I have a barrel from an M1911, SN 298xxx with a barrel stamped "R P" vertically. I know the "correct" stamp is "H P" for this period. I haven't been able to find a definitive answer to who this inspector was or where the barrel originated from. Can anyone shed some light on this?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Maybe Rice, but that's just speculation. I don't have any information to back that up.
