My new pristine Long Branch, what a find!

Can anyone explain the proof mark with crossed guidons, crown on top, P on bottom (fairly standard) but a D on the left side?

Thanks

Niels

D.C.P is a Canadian Military proof mark which appears to have originated at Ross Rifle Factory internal inspection which was adopted by Canadian military inspectors who were seconded to inspect british purchased arms at the beginning of/during wwI.
