Who made this holster?

I have a 1941 holster with manufacturer code epf, WaA 195. This maker is not listed in any of my references except one, Costanza, who says maker whose code is epf is "unknown." Does anyone have a better reference? I would very much like to know the name of the maker.

See Bender's "Luger Holsters & Accessories" page 207. epf was Karl Bocker Lederwarenfabrik located in Waldbrol.

Thanks much for your information which proved to be absolutely correct. Amazingly, Constanza on page 369 states epf is an unknown code, but I just discovered that on page 376 he says epf represents Karl Bocker Lederwarenfabrik. I note that Karl Bocker also used the code eqf. I wonder if by some chance the q and the p became accidentally interchanged at the factory.
