CVS,
That is a very nice looking rifle but I have never seen a similar marked gun. It is interesting that a supposed Mail protection rifle that is a 32 WCF and not a 44 WCF. In addition it is commonly assumed that most protection guns were carbines and not OB sporting rifles. Any chance anybody got the full serial number of the rifle so I can add it into my research?
Thanks,
Michael

See the following:

Note markings C.&P.R.R., which may, or may not, signify the Cumberland & Pennsylvania Railroad.
Legitimately marked, or not? I have not seen these markings before, which, of course, does not mean a whole lot.
Guess what I saw at a local gun show today? The C&P RR model 92 in question here? SN 27448. Nice looking gun with a lot of original finish. What’s the thoughts on the railroad stampings on the barrel?

Mystery appears to be solved!
