This makes sense in regard to the those early awful case covers. I look at them as prototypes that didn't make the grade & were changed out for the canvas covers fairly early-on.
Personally, I wouldn't pay extra for a "P" gun because I like to judge every gun on its own merits. Wood figure & layout would far outpace my choices in repro's over an early gun with a "P" designation.
I'd like to give a shoutout to the original poster. Thank you for joining the PGCA and welcome to the group!!!
