Welcome to the forum - the Crown N was used before WW2 and then after

I'd say this is a 'k'
letters can be very tricky, I've read that a small stamp might last a couple of hundred stampings, even if more, each one was made by hand so I imagine there were variations.
What I find odd, is that there are numbers underneath. It is possible it is a WW1 luger that was reused and sold as a commercial, eother by DWM or most likely a reseller.
