Hermit, your markings are correct for that date and WaA 142 marking. There were at least ten known makers of leather items in 1937. Additionally there were makers that used codes rather than the marking on your holster, such as JOA, which indicted Carl Heinichen, also of Dresden, dates unknown. This info is in Costanzo's book. If you want I can give you a list of my books, which is not all inclusive, as I know that others on the forum have more/different ones than I and perhaps they will be willing to add to it.
