A Research Question

[Dean Romig]

I'm conducting some research on some specific markings or stamps found on Parker Bros. barrel tubes and/or on the barrel flats. Pictures below..... The third picture is of a friend's gun.

The P set in a diamond is discussed on page 590 of The Parker Story but is unknown as to its significance.

The P stamped on the flat of the right barrel in the general location of the type of steel is not mentioned, that I can find, in The Parker Story.

I have a Lifter with both of these marks, and my friend's gun does too, but they are not necessarily both stamped on other guns.

I am attempting to discover what these two marks indicate and would greatly appreciate any help I can get. If you have a gun with such mark, please tell us here and please give the serial number of your gun or at least the exact year your gun was made.
