CE marked receiver

Naturally font interpretation is subjective or at least lends itself to furthering ones opinion but this is opinion base upon limited observation and I am open to others opinion..
 
Great points Loewe. I could visualize the “p” being a very strong possibility as well from the pics and analysis. Damn JP Sauer always confusing us collectors!

The date in the stock can pre-date assembly by a variable amount of time, which may vary by maker and time frame. My 41 Sauer d block has a 1940 date in the stock.

I find some of the script letters difficult to distinguish as written, throw in the variability of stamping……. but given Loewe’s examples, I can’t see it as other than a ‘p’. The ‘w’ of that font is really ‘far out’ !
 
Well, if the OP could just post pics of the bolt we could probably finalize the answer. I mean we're weeks into this at this point. At least the discussion and postulating has been interesting.
 
While the “o” in my example is deeper, you can see that the top of the letter is not as deep. Obvious heavy final polishing of the receiver exhibited.

Thanks for posting comparison photos and that is crazy how differences in polishing can affect the rifle in different ways.

JP Sauer was unique out of all the assemblers/manufacturers in that they first applied the serials/markings and then polished the metal before final assembly and bluing. This resulted in part with what see in your example, mine and others which are… faint markings.

The triggers in JP Sauer rifles are the best imo. They got it right for sure in that department.
