Crown over N means German proofmark for nitropowder.

1038 is the date of proofing : October 1938

294 is the number of the barrel (rifle)

9mm 62 : Caliberdesignation for the 9,3x62 cartridge.

ST.m.G 18,3: StahlmantelGeschoss ( = steeljacket bullet) weight 18,3 g

2,5g GBP : Type and weight of powder charge " Blaettchenpulver" that´s flake powder

The " S " on the front receiver ring is sometimes found on rifles of those days. I once had an Oberndorf Mauser 7x57 also marked. Don´t know the significance of that S .

That rifle is a typical example of the cheaper Suhl made rifles that were distributed by various wholesellers worldwide.
