Su 19 instead of WaA 19 on 1940 luger holster

[1933 FORD NUT]

Hello , I have been rooting around on this holster marking and am satisfied on the WwSu 1940 and the # 19 in the acceptance as it can be researched several places . But the Su 19 instead of WaA 19 is puzzling . Standard eagle swastika above it . Normal military black holster like the others in the old thread . Any thoughts ? I have a late Krieghoff holster with the eagle 2 inside as the only marking and that doesn't conform either but those are somewhat common . Well sorta anyway . This Su thing seems out of place and any info would be appreciated . Thanks Dave PS no clue on how to do pics here .

Photos would help. E/SU19 signifies ordnance repair. There is a E/SU19 designation. I have a Luger marked SU38

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply , I am new to this forum and have not got a grip on the pic thing yet . That said there is an old thread I was posting on about this with a good pic of another holster like mine . It is just a few down and is titled " waffenwerkestadt Spandau 1940 holster . The WwSu 1940 is upside down on mine but it is identical otherwise . I am aware that Su is used in other places but this is in place of the WaA in the acceptance mark in 1940 ?? I found a discussion on this on another site but no definitive answer there either . The WwSu 1940 matches the inspector # 19 so that isn't a mystery anymore . Not trying to sell this thing - just understand it . Thanks Dave

Posted this photo on the P38 forum. Waiting for some of the more knowledgeable members to chime in. I'm sure Leon (also a member here) will have something for us.

After WW1 and until the WaA system, but with some overlap, the German army had 3 big stocks for storing leather goods :
Spandau (WwSu19 & Su25 - the most important), Magdeburg (Mg10) and Königsberg (Kg10).

I knew that was you ! There can't be more than one 1933 Ford Nut in the state of Wisconsin ! 1934, maybe.
Sorry, but I can't answer your question. I am surprised that someone didn't pop up and declare that it was "fake". There are a lot of naysayers, on here.
Look at my 1936 Olympia Pistole that I put on here, just the other day, for "Show and Tell".
It's like 85* in Daytona Beach, today. "T" shirt weather.
COME ON DOWN !
