Help with ID of Suhl craftsman?

[Steve Whitley]

These marks are on the underside receiver/barrel of a DSM marketed by the Verband Suhler Waffenfabrikanten in either 1934 or 1935. The barrel seems to be sourced from Kelber. Both receiver and barrel bear this "FN" (or ?) script marking near the index mark which I assume would indicate the person who pressed the barrel into the receiver, or completed the assembly of the rifle. Can anyone place the owner of this mark? These particular single shot .22s bear the receiver crest marking of "Waffenstadt Suhl", so it is likely that the craftsman operated there.

Any help is appreciated!

Also, I believe the "FA" barrel marking has been identified, if I recall?

LK has also & I'd say the pool has been narrowed for AK.
