Looks similar to the N crown on this one
It is not the crown/n that is the puzzle, they are quite correct and common.

It is the larger crown, alone- stamped on the frame and the lower curve of the barrel. These two crowns appear to have been stamped after finish as they show bare metal in the stamping- at least they do in these pictures. These are the Puzzle.

Better close ups of those crowns, posted on the server here, would be a help to see them more clearly.
