Here is a peek at "P" mark of two more model 1898 Krag receivers.

1st two pics are of a '98 receiver made around November, 1899. The "P" is almost impossible to identify as a P. There are various scratches from stone or file work on receiver face. A lot of the case-color survives.

The last two pics are a '98 receiver made around April, 1903. Markings are clear, but, the finish is probably Armory refurbish prior to WW1. Also has a "DD" stamped on front face of receiver.
