Remington 03a3 Stock marking question

[Rick the Librarian]

RA = Remington Arms (always unboxed) Only used as an "original" stamp

RA-P = Raritan Arsenal (sometimes unboxed and sometimes not). Either a rebuild or inspection stamp.

Was the SA in a partial box?

Yes, the it was S.A. with a box on three sides, but not the bottom. It was just the two letters and it was in the wide area at the rear of the stock. Very odd looking as the stock was as new but had oxidation from time. I've worked with wood for 23 years as a career and it was clearly older, I'd bet at least 20-30 years but of course hard to say.

Anyone have any ideas on the P with the 2 next to it?
