It's my understanding that new Lugers were not necessarily issued with new holsters. I think the standard around here is within one year of the chamber date. So in your case a 1941 or 1942 would suffice. Just try to match the condition of the holster and gun. Check our own for sale section, as it seems like I've seen a couple lately.
