M1 Strap Hardware - Maker's Mark 'P'

[JBR]

Hello, I've just joined the Forum and would like to ask if anyone can tell me when the maker's mark 'P' first appeared on post WW2 M1 strap metal bits? If possible, I'd also like to know the maker's identity. I've tried searching the web and, although I've found reference to the anchor symbol maker's mark, can find nothing regarding 'P'. Regards to All, John

The only reference ive found is its possibly 'P' for Parish and came into use in the late 60's.
Thats all ive got!

Thanks NCA - it's much more than I found! Much appreciated.
