Winchester 1892 barrel proof marks|Winchester Rifles|Forum|Winchester Collector

 I have a winchester 1892 that I am cleaning up and I’m curious about the markings on the underside of the barrel underneath the forend. They go as follows:

121916, a space, “H” stamped, space, an “I” inside a circle, space, “I” inside triangle “X” and another “I” inside triangle, space, 32 W.C.F., space, “3”, space, a dot and “J”

Any information would be appreciated.  I have Arthur Pirkle’s 1892 book, however it does not mention anything about markings on bottom of barrel. Thank you.
