The SU stamp is the H. Za. identification and the two digits indicate the year the work was done.
The subject pistol appears to be a legitimate pistol and not boosted.

posted listing link clearly states that it is in .30 caliber so it was not converted to any German military specs at Spandau repair Depot -
