OK, I'm beginning to think, because of the various locations the "diamond P" stamp is found, that is must be an inspector's mark.
I'm still stymied about the P in the barrel steel location. Dave, the mark for Peerless Steel is the crossed P's or as DelGrego has is shown on their chart, crossed flags..... I'm going with crossed P's though. |

Yes, except for the fact that the P I'm looking for is on composite barrels.

Parker 16316 12 ga Parker Underlifter. The P in the diamond is
below the barrel flat of the right hand barrel. You can see also that the T symbol for Twist is present. for whatever reason the little light I used made the picture look blue Hope this helps |

Why do I think it was a "proofing" stamp? I have it on the forend lug of my grade 1 hammer 16, serial 46550, but not on my other hammer guns.

Bill, I was thinking the same thing, maybe a proof mark? Gary

The only question then is why a "proof" stamp would have been stamped into the wood face of the stock head on Robert Rambler's gun shown above? Shouldn't a proof mark be stamped on the barrels? After all, the stock doesn't need to pass proof.
I am however, still in need of many more examples of the P stamp on the barrel flats of composite barrels. Thanks in advance for your contributions to this research project. |
