Hello Richard,
the production of this particular PPK (Polizei Pistole Kriminal) started at 1940 with SNo: 270100K and ended 1945 with SNo: 424619. As your SNo: begins with 40xxxxK I would guess it has been made later than 1943.
These PPKs can be seperated according to their finish and their additional markings.
Yours seem to have the very rough military finish, so I would say your pistol had been used in the german military.
Do you have additional markings that are not being located on frame or slide?
Do you have a serial number on the buttom of the magazin as well?
Would be interesting to know. If so, maybe additional information could be found.
Cheers,
Alan
