The Russian ones ARE out there, but you need to look pretty hard for them.
I obtained my 1943 Izhevsk Russkie in about 1980. Found it at a gun show. Not really sure how it got here, but it is one of the few I have ever seen that has a matching magazine that is serialed to the gun.
Oh, and evidently it got here BEFORE that safety nonsense went into play. Its finish has aged to a deep brown over the years with a very slight purplish shade to it, but it is still all original, and Matching.
