The .32 W.C.F. is the .32-20.

Here's what Winchester calls it on the barrel of my Model 1892 shown above:






On the other hand, S&W simply calls it the ".32 Winchester" (followed by "CTG", of course).





These photos are from the thread I posted here: A Couple of .32-20s at the Range Today

And oh, by the way, the "Cpt." part has nothing to do with military service. It was a moniker hung on me many years ago by a close friend and had to do with a motorboat I had at the time. So Cpl. Curl wouldn't really be a demotion - it just wouldn't fit the situation of a curly headed guy with his first (and last) motorboat. The boat is long gone, but the moniker stuck like tar.

Back then there were lots of snide comments about "three hour tours" and all that.

I posted a detailed explanation some years back.
