| I have a 6" royal blue marked E98xxx, which would indicate it was made in 1975, but right below the serial it is stamped with a P. Was curious to know if there was any significance to that and thought someone here might know. |

Actually the "P" is a normal Colt inspectors stamp. These are stamped below the serial number and may be any letter.
The Colt proof mark is a tiny "VP" in a triangle stamped on the left front side of the trigger guard area. That's the Colt "Verified Proof" stamp. There's another inspectors stamp on the left rear trigger guard. |
