Hopefully Michael (2bit) checks in on this topic and provides his educated input. I certainly would not expect to find that UT marking on a late 1926 production Model 92, but stranger things exist.

Tom –
But it’s not a .33 or a .45-90…
Well Steve it is a big bore! Beside some times you just have to expand your horizons. Plus they are legal to hunt deer with in these shotgun only zone here in NH. Can’t quite get the F&G convinced that 45-90 is only a 45 colt with a magnum charge. LMAO!
Oh and don’t get me started on the 33wcf. You know where that will go.

OfflineHello,
I was traveling for a week without my computer and I am trying to get caught up. That Model 92 is absolutely correct. And pretty nice looking. The Model 92 upper tangs were consistently stamped with the Type 5 style right up until the Model 53 rifles began being numbered in the Model 92 serial number sequence (right at the end of 1927) at which point they pretty abruptly begin to use the Type 6 style. But then in 1928 you can find batches of Model 92’s with Type 5, 6, and 7 upper tang stamps. It is a mess in that year!

I agree with Anthony – I always appreciate it when Michael takes time to increase our level of knowledge.
You are a great resource Michael and you have my gratitude!
I am always happy to help. As others have done with me when I started out. Just passing it along.
