1943 dated Luger Holster?

I have a 1943 dated black Luger holster, with a maker code that leads back to Robert Larsen.

Since 1942 is the last date on P.08's that I know of I have 2 assumptions. I am happy to be corrected on either.

1. Holster production continued into 1943 as some P.08's with 1942 dates were actually issued in 1943, so holster production continued accordingly.

2. Holster production continued into 1943 in order to provide replacement spares.

Finally, does anyone know what the last year date on P.08 holsters is? I mean, do 1945 dated holsters exist? I know all my Lugers will fit into P.38 holsters so maybe that played into the picture?
