I have recently acquired a 7.65 mm ZM PPK, serial number 791453. It is missing some bluing and has some pitting (mostly on the slide). Other than those defects it is mechanically sound and shoots great. On the left side of the pistol there is similar pitting on the slide, frame, and trigger guard. There is also a similar amount of bluing loss on the frame and slide. However, the numbers etched on the inside of the slide do not match the last 3 digits of the serial number.
Is this kind of mismatch between the slide and frame common? Did the switch likely occur early on or more recently?
