thanks for info,i found this about pistol,Crown over N is a German proof mark used before April 1, 1940. "N" indicates that the gun has been proofed with "nitro" or smokeless powder found on early PP models and many were used during WWII. These are somewhat rare.
 
Here it is:

Crown/N - since 1950 E. German, Suhl nitro powder proof

------------------------------------------------------------

In most cases though, the Firing Proof on pre-1945 K98's are the Nazi Eagle with the
Swastika (and also, yours being bcd is WaA749 for the WaffenAmt) stamped either on the Barrel or Receiver. Are yours intact or peened? Not all East German Nazi markings were peened.
If peened or defaced, done postwar.
 
You are late my friend, very late...
