Savage Enfield with Odd Cartouche "P"

**Andisjjw** · 06-26-2014 10:53 AM

Hello all,
I have inherited an oddity. I have a Savage No. 4 MK I. Stamped US Property and all of the other fun stories that lie within its stamping. The stock, forearm and hand guard have a capital "P" in them.
Does anybody here know what they represent or is this just another wartime beautification to the rifle?
Thank you kindly.

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.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

If someone beautified their rifle like that and it came into our Armourers shop, we'd be doing a bit of bum-kicking! Saw ornate carvings on New Zealand icon

Similar to the W.T. that is branded in the butt of one of my No. 4 Mk2's.
School identifier, perhaps? Answers lost to time......

I had a '94 saddle ring carbine with a ranch brand in the stock, forearm and receiver. This is the same. Nothing important.
