yes, kind of cool holster, nice appearance, but some red ? flags ...

WaA mark on a 1916 dated holster seems incorrect as WaA system marks seems started after 1933 ( so perhaps sales talk could include that it was reworked, etc )

http://www.ask.com/wiki/Waffenamt_co...apn&ap=ask.com ( and various others )
also seems WaA136 is for
aA136 cdg Auwärter und Bubeck Stuttgart 1934
WaA136 Hans Deuter Augsburg 1934

try google image search with "holster WaA136"
random sample has a backside marking on image #4 that looks much different

but ebay seller has 14 days return marked and 100% lots of sales ok

about 15 hours to go - I suspect one of the holster gurus here will respond - it is an interesting case

I was also curious, but wont be bidding, have no involvement in the sale , etc

happy hunting !
Bill
