This is the Steyr 1941 picked up on Bornholm recently:

BNZ 41, All matching, Cleaning rod missing and bore is not too good due to lack of cleaning and extensive use over the years with corrosive ammo :-( .
This one has some oddities though! PLEASE HELP to ID:
The serial number is m1809N, the m is lower case and the N is upper case (see pictures). I have never seen this before, execpt on a 660 Radom 1939 G29/40 from the same place as I bought this rifle. (Picture of Radom included though part of serial number covered as it is not mine). What are these serial numbers, I haven't seen any like them. please help?
Proofmarks look like weimar eagles, but have later had a cirle/ring stamped underneath as to make it like a nazi eagle... what is this? I know this was done durring the war, as I know they have only had one owner since who didn't care for the history, but why?
The rest of the rifle (except receiver and barrel) only has the two last digits of the serial number stamped in them (09) including bolt. I have seen this on the Radom (72) and a spare bolt inserted in the BNZ 43 (25) I accuired in the same lot as this BNZ 41. All WaA are correct, though some are 77 Radom spares. The rest are 623. Both the Radom and this one have 2 eagles with swastika un the bottom of the stock, and this one has the code C also. The Radom has the code CO + another letter i couldn't read...
Please help to ID this rifle as it has several markings I haven't seen before...
