Can you identify this mark?

I just wanted to know if the VP was on all Colts or only during some time periods?

Colt started stamping the Single Action Army's and Bisley's around 1905-1906. I imagine all commercial 1911 Government's were too and none of the military M1911's and M1911A1's were. Not sure about the other revolvers.

From about 1903/1904 to the present.

Are you talking about the VP in the triangle? If so as I understand it, it is a mark indicating that it has been test fired at the factory. I hope I am right on this if not someone please correct me.

Thanks guys, that makes a lot of sense. It is not on my older Colt SAA.
