Ok, that's the SLIDE rollmark, now, move down to the frame from those markings, and look forward of trigger guard. There are 2 letters stamped into the aluminium.

For the OP, true New Old Stock P5s would sell for something in the range of $1200-$1500, outliers notwithstanding (e.g., one on GB for $1750 early this fall). You can almost double that price range for a NOS P5 Compact.

I bought a NOS P5 in spring of 2013 for slightly less than $1000, but they are getting harder to find in that condition, obviously.
