You're welcome. Just about every camera has an M42 adapter available cheaply - browse ebay, amazon etc.
Only problematical one is Nikon - won't focus to infinity (in fact unless you get an adapter with an optical correction the 28mm lens will be pretty unusable on Nikon, and optical correction is undesirable because of IQ degradation).

Kimunor is just a reseller name, one of the less common ones. Nothing to do with panagor which was another reseller name, though that often linked with Kino Optical (Kiron). The lens will have been made by s/o else, may be identifiable as eg a cosina/ tokina / whatever by close comparison with named lenses.
M42 mount without an A-M switch, use a rimless adapter to mount on your pentax, but you may need to do a wee "mod"! to get the iris to close with the aperture ring - see here.

Most 28's are quite decent so I would say you should be reasonably happy.
