content: so do you think that ST1941 is made by BK precision.doesn't that mean the ST1941 must be of the same quality as BK precession?

content: The BK2831 and ST1941 look very much the same from both the pictures and description. So they seem to come from the same factory - this may be BK or another unknown OEM.I would expect essentially the same quality, maybe with slight difference in the calibration and warranty.The price may vary a bit, depending on the shource. In current times a relevant point may be if it is available at all.

content: I think Sourcetronics is rebranding the Tonghui brand, so much they barely change the model number ST vs. TH.https://www.tonghui.com.cn/en/product_list_158.htmlFor sure Sourcetronics wants to appear as an european brand, while Tonghui, well everyone knows... But based on the little information available on Tonghui instruments they are fairly well built.
