1906 American Eagle 9mm

I guess I will make it American Eagle day and offer up this 1906 American Eagle, 9mm, all matching, original finish, 93% blue, 50% straw, plain wood magazine bottom, nice bore, nice grips with just a couple of flat spots. Nice clean example of the rarer 9 mm version. I can't make out stamping inside rear of magazine well, see last pic. It might be "Prvt" but I am not sure. I know some think a P and/or Prvt stamp in the mag well were for private purchase by officers. Appreciate anyone who could say what other stamp this might be as I don't see the sense in it being a private purchase, since it is an AE for export?? It is probably some other stamp, I just can not make it out. Any help appreciated. Enjoy, Mark
