    Beats me. The "COLT 45 AUTO MATCH" is how a prewar commercial National Match barrel is marked.
    But "G" indicates Government (military contract) sales.

    A match barrel diverted into Army orders early in the war, maybe.

    As Jim says, likely government sales. Commercial sales normally marked MB in a circle at the location of this P stamp.
