Question about marking

[LafayetteCountyDigger]

Hello everyone, I was looking over my model 1842 springfield and I found this make behind the trigger guard. It looks like it says SRC but it's hard to read. Would any of y'all know what the marking means ?

SRC stands for Samuel R. Crane. "US Military Inspector Marks" by Anthony Daum & Charles Pate
