A friend of mine that is quite a weapons collector were at a gun show recently and the subject came up about, "wonder whatever happened to........"
This was in regard to the PPSh-41s and PPs-43 along with the STG-44 the East German Peoples Police used to carry.
Following the dissulsion of East Germany, you'd think that these weapons (especially the STG-44) would flood the collectors market. There has been no noticble increase of these weapons, at least not on the east coast.

Those weapons had all been replaced with AKs and such decades ago - melted down, most likely - the FRG did the same with most of the Soviet stuff they inherited after 3 Oct 90 when East and West Germany unified because nobody needed/wanted that stuff, either - wasn't STANAG - and there were severe restrictions on it entering the global arms market.
