Default Any war time Walther experts out there?

Posting this or a friend who owns a shop locally, this gun strolled in not long ago and he purchased it. It’s a Walther PPK chambered in 22, serialized on both the slide and frame with 2 mags numbered to the pistol in the side of the base plate.
Sights are painted, rear is red front is white, could this be a Walther bank gun or other Military/ Police contract?

Attached are a couple of pics

Thanks in advance

Does not look like a war time gun. Don't think any were in .22 for war time combat use. Someone destroyed it with an electro pencil.

That's what it is. Not considered a military or police pistol, but still collectable.

The condition and electro pencil markings affect the value negatively, as you probably know.

These were issued to German bank employees with an interesting holster. I'm sorry to say I don't have any pictures handy of one.
One of my Walther reference books may have a picture or two. If I think about it I'll try to find some pics and post in the thread.
