Regardless of what is roll marked on the slide, from 1952 until 1984 all PP/PPK/PPK/S were manufactured at the Manurhin factory in France. Your serial number, if there are no prefixes or suffixes, dates your PPK/S to 06/68 to 12/85. That's not a contradiction on the dates. Frames were made ahead of time and assembled by Manurhin after Walther restarted production. Can't help you on the finish, My reference dont list it.
