The "P" without a circle and the "RA" (Raritan Arsenal) means it went through a rebuild. Receiver date is from November of 1942.

Are you saying a garand that would cost around $700.00 in the USA would cost $2000.00 US dollars in Denmark ?

Welcome to the forum too.

yes a mixed ww2 garand costs between 18-2200$ and dont get me started on the ammo prices 1,25-2$ pr round
gasoline costs 8.5$ a gallon and diesel fuel just a little less.
