A hand guard marked SuWW 1935 and with a Spandau inspection marking of SU58.
The SuWW marking
is an abbreviation for Waffenwerkstatt Berlin-Spandau or the small arms reworking facility within the
Heerezeufamt Berlin-Spandau. The markings mean the handguard was actually manufactured at the depot
instead of being supplied by one of the rifle manufacturers as a spare.
SU was the abbreviation
for the Spandau works which performed a lot of the reworking of rifles in the early Third Reich era.
