RIFLES SWORD M1827.

I believe the C----->P was meant to denote the best percussive portion of the blade. I read this in either Robson's or Bezdek's books concerning British swords.

Neil is correct, 'Centre of Percussion', I have the same marks on a Wilkinson P1821 Heavy Cavalry Officers Undress sword.
