Honestly, a "Correct" holster would generally be any holster with a date previous to the gun's date of manutacture. It is fun and nice to have a holster the same year as your gun, but the German army basically issued what they had, especially after WW1. The only exceptions are guns such as Krieghoffs, which would hopefully have a Luftwaffe marked holster or unit marked Army and police guns, which often had the same unit markings on the holster.

For a 1939 42 code it would be nice to have a mid to late 1930's marked holster, which would have been the most likely to have been issued with the gun.
