militarymania is right, that's a Finnish property marking. The mark isn't just post WWII though. It was used before and during WWII as well.

These SA stamping are seen quite frequently on PO-08 holster sold in the US. During the early 1990s "somebody" imported a bunch of them and they were eventually sold off at gun shows, etc. Quite a bit of history is associated with these German made holsters. You will also see the Luger tools with A stamped into the metal.
