It is probably an East German re-work. The 757791 serial makes it a very early, likely 1930, gun. The PPs actually manufactured at Suhl in the 1950s all are part of the 1001 series. But according to Dieter Marschall they refurbished pistols from across the entire PP production serial range, so if you‘ve got Suhl proofs with that serial, this is likely the explanation.
I was at the range about 20-25 years ago with this PP and on the second magazine the weapon went to full-automatic firing. Each subsequent magazine fired at full-auto!
I sent the pistol off to Inter-Arms for repair and they found a worn seer. Problem solved.
I must say though, the action performed flawlessly in full-auto that day. A testament to the design and engineering I suppose.
Not familiar with that term but the it does rotate 90 degrees.
