TIA:
If it is on the cartridge, it is could be for "Normal" like 9.3X71 Normal although it is not the same as 360 2 1/4" Express - 9.3X57.4R. DWM 292 is a 9.4X57.5R Musket, so the "N" might be an abbreviation for something similar. Are the cartridges current production or are they reformed cases with a parent headstamp? Could you post a pic?
A Model 88 would have a stamp of "8mm/57"(7,99 or 7,8mm) & "crown over N" for Nitro.
By the way, I probably need to add that the 9.3X71 Normal was an attempt(one of the 1st for German cartridges) to standardize the oh so many variations of the 9.3X72 sometime after 1912.
Kind Regards,
Raimey
