Excuse me what do you mean with "the P before the serial number serves the same purpose at an isolated 'P' stamp, show the soldier privatized the firearm..." Swiss soldiers never privatized any firearm, when the soldier left the Army, his gun was stamped with an isolated "P" or a P followed by the date it was privatized, in any case never in front of the s/n, then the gun given to him.
The letter "P" in front of the serial number only represented that the gun had never been issued to the Army but to the commercial market.
