Tony,
While I do not know for sure which model is more prevalent, I suspect that it was the Model 1892. Michael Puzio has been surveying that model and can undoubtedly provide some information in that regard.
I have a survey covering the Model 1894 DCP marked Carbines. Of the purported 5,000 that were sold to the British, I have documented just (49) of them thus far (all in the 720,000 – 751,000 serial range).

Tony, Alan David in Sydney was gathering data on them but his email account is inactive and he has not responded in 7 months to my last post here:
I have one of your old DCP SRCs too, the nice one! Did you see the SRC on Ozguns yesterday? The seller had no idea that it was DCP marked. I sent it to Michael for his survey.

Good morning Tony,
Rick Hill wrote an article in the Spring 2014 issue of the WACA magazine regarding the DCP marked rifles. As I recall, there were 12,000 Model 1892’s and 5,000 Model 1894 rifles. To data I have cataloged 132 Model 1892 rifles with the DCP proof stamp. The rifles fall in the SN 708355 to 791503 range.

I too have been unable to contact Alan. Unfortunately, I have the feeling that something bad has transpired with him. Both Michael and I used to share survey information with him regularly.

I dont own this carbine anymore, but never realised it was outside the usual range of the DCP 92s
has the DCP and crossed flags stamp behind the win proof. its a 44 carbine, and sn 586535, i believe now it was not sent accros the pond but a recall, and used for the Canadian defence. any one chime in on this.

Good morning Tony,
Are you REAL sure about that possible SN? I have a rifle with that SN in my survey already. It is an OB sporting rifle chambered in 32 WCF and located in Australia.

Michael, I think Tony is getting confused with 1892s he has owned. That ad, is also Tonys ad.
Tony, check out this pair. My 1892 DCP SRC and extremely high condition 1894 DCP SRC – the earliest known in Berts survey.

That is a common affliction!! The SN is not early by any stretch. Here is a section of my spreadsheet which shows a large batch of DCP marked carbines. I have SN 774965 as being in Australia. Maybe that was your rifle?

Chris,
The bluing on the receiver is worn a bit but over all the rifle is crisp and has been well cared for. The majority of the other DCP guns are fairly well worn.
