"P" top of slide in front of rear sight
"P" left side barrel link guide
"HS" right side barrel link guide – HS = High Standard 45 acp barrel for a colt 1911 pistol. These were contract barrels made for Ithaca, Remington and Union Switch & Signal
Flaming bomb under firing pin stop

“0” right side front trigger guard
FJA left side above/behind trigger "Col Frank J. Atwood” small arms inspector at Ithaca and Remington-Rand (at different periods.)
Bluing on slide and frame 98%+
