I’m in the camp that believes the “P” guns were personally earmarked either to be used as gifts or specially ordered and deeply discounted by Jack Skeuse for good friends and relatives… or maybe for Presentation to those folks.
How could there have been “prototype” guns numbering into the hundreds? Wouldn’t, by the mere definition of the word, such “prototypes” be limited to just a handful of examples??

Your last paragraph is the question I originally asked, worded somewhat differently. I did not understand how there could be so many Prototype guns with the same specifications. I thought that there might be subtle differences between the guns that I was unaware of. The poster that stated that one of the Skeuses told him that the "P" guns were prototypes has yet to chime in. Thank you Mr. Dean.
