I am looking for advice on my Walther PPK. A number of years ago I had trouble with my prohib status. 4 of my guns were taken and held until I resolved the issue or sold them. My 32 cal. PPK was not one of them based on its age 1930's production. I thought that made it restricted and not prohib. If I ever decide to sell it can it be sold to a restricted only PAL holder. By the discussion here It looks like no. Any advice appreciated.

It seems that your PPK is a prohibited firearm according to Sec. 84 (1)(a) of the Criminal Code of Canada:
“prohibited firearm” means
(a) a handgun that
(i) has a barrel equal to or less than 105 mm in length, or
(ii) is designed or adapted to discharge a 25 or 32 calibre cartridge, but does not include any such handgun that is prescribed, where the handgun is for use in international sporting competitions governed by the rules of the International Shooting Union,
A PPK has a barrel shorter than 105mm and it's 32 cal. The 1930s production does not classifies it as an antique handgun. The latter would have to be manufactured before 1898 (SOR/98-464).

I can't speak to much of your question, but any 12(6) manufactured before 1946 (not sure about during), can be passed on to a child (or perhaps other blood relative, not sure though). They are eligible to classified as 12(7). Someone should be along shortly to clarify.

You could have it rebarreled to restricted length and caliber converted to .380
