Default I'm Stumped

I've got this graded hammer gun all taken apart and have sonically cleaned all the metal parts and as I was inspecting everything closely I discovered this inside the trigger guard bow. It is likely to be the mark of a worker in Meriden who worked on this gun.... or maybe not.

Hopefully someone may know what its significance is and what the letters really are. It looks like cpp. or .ddo but it is tiny and even with a magnifying glass I couldn't be sure.

Anybody have an opinion??

Hmmm.... Could it be cap. for Charles A. Parker?
