M1 Carbine Proof Mark?

[K98]

On a WWII M1 Carbine, what does the proof mark RA-P mean? (Not the rebuild P proof mark)

It's a rebuild mark from Raritan Arsenal in NJ.

Nice proof to have. On my home computer I have a link to all the codes; I'll edit when I get home.

It has the RA-P, then it also has usual P stamp as well.

Thanks for the info.
