Yeah, it is a .380.. I’m wondering if it was refinished. All I know it it has been in a sockdrawer loaded for home defense for the last 70 years haha

Wow. Very informative, thanks everyone. Here are some photos I was able to get from him.

Long story short, I have a friend whose great grandfather handed down a PPK that he took off of a German officer in WWII allegedly. He asked me to do a little research into the gun's history and potential value. The Serial Number, 890425, is a little hard to research, I have found. Is there...
