PPK 7.65 S/N 331,XXX K history and value? - The Firearms Forum

I am a new member and trying to research this PPK history and value of my Walter PPK 7.65. It has been in the family and was brought back from WWII in Europe. I have the leather holster and two original clips. The grips are cracked and there is some wear on the blueing but overall in good condition. It has the Eagle/N marking and the serial number is 331,xxx K. If the markings are not clear in the attached photo's I can provide the text. Thank you!

Made in 1941. Unless there is some other information, it appears to be a standard commercial model PPK. The presence of the holster indicates some possible official use, so a picture of the holster might help with the history.

The serial numbers seem to be missing? Have you removed them for the purposes of the post but still divulged the number? Are serial numbers present on both frame and slide?

Serial number on the frame is 331306K, I do not see one on the slide that is visable
