Alot of rather worn ones were imported like 10-15 years ago(?) from China. Most had shot out bores and there are still companies that will reline the bores. Now that the supply is long dried up, you will have to search willy nilly on the gun auction sites, gun shows, etc. to see if you still can find one. Otherwise excellent examples in collector condition are very expensive items, probably something that you would find selling at a firearms or militaria auction house. It would make for a pretty extravegent gift, you are gonna probably pay a huge sum for one, unless you find an unrestored Chinese example that someone has been setting on. And that might not be a particularly nice looking one. As I recall they were no finish and varying in wear and probably pitting.
