You need to repost, give the model and caliber, and the complete serial number. N is not a serial number, and there is more than one Springfield.
The 29-2 began production in 1961. If the serial number starts with an N, then your handgun was made between 1977 and 1978.
I found one website that said S/N 362699 was made in 1908.

The 29-2 was first manufactured in 1961. If the serial number mentioned begins with an N, then it was made between 1977-1978.

Your H R model 923 with a prefix of N indicates that it was made in the year 1953.
@1976
1980.The letter N prefix to your serial number indicates that your Marlin rifle was made in the year 1956.In order to be made in the year 1980,there will be no prefix letter attached ahead of the serial number.Also there would be a longer serial number than 5 digits.I hope that you find this info of interest.
