Waffenamt 519 info needed please

[audiophil2]

I have a MG42 top cover with 2 stamps that look like they show WSA519. Can't find that reference but I did find WaA519 on the internet.
Is it probable that this is a legit stamp on the cover and not a fake?

Other marks I can see
cof on top sid eof top cover
2 wsa?waa519 stamps near each other on top side of top cover

much smaller weffenamt or similar stamp on top cover latch

much smaller waffenamt or similar stamp on feeder.

Would a Waa519 mark be on an MG42?

WaA519 was the general waffenamt assigned to the Solingen region. cof on the cover indicates that Carl Eickhorn (located in Solingen) manufactured the top cover. Eickhorn was a subcontractor for MG42 parts and did make the entire top covers assembly in addition to the feed tray and grip frames.

TL;DR: WaA519 is correct on a MG42 top cover that is cof marked. If it isn't cof marked, I would be a little suspicious.

Thanks for the info.
