How Does This "p" Look?

This "P" doesn't look right, but maybe it is. It is on an IO with a BA/HAB rebuild mark. What do you guys think??

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.

It would not be a factory applied P as it has serifs, but I've seen Ps like that on overhauled stocks before. Looks OK to me. I've seen BA/JPL marks before, the HAB is a new one to me. Anybody know who that inspector was?

It looks like it was just struck to me. No wear or even dirt in the impression.

I don't think its a re-strike or new. Look at the one oclock position of the circle and theres a diaginal line crossing over the line of the circle.
