Glad there are no import marks LOL.  Yes, a "bringing back" gun.  Likely brought back by Interarmco, like all the rest.

Have to laugh at some of this, but it still looks to be a nice example.

Interesting thing about these guns is that except for “Amnesty” status, these guns really have little or no provenance to speak of.  They are either Russian or Chinese, all dated so we know that, but I have yet to see a single gun tied to a famous Russian or Chinese soldier.  
 

So, however they got here matters not.  Country of origin, matching SN’s and condition are the three key determinants of value.

For what it is worth, I cleaned one at the MN Military Museum years ago. A wife of a Korean war veteran had donated it to the museum. It had been in the house attic prior to the donation and the story was it was brought back to the US from Korea by the veteran . The was a torn square piece of fabric in the buttstock compartment. I did not write an information down as a quite a few submachine guns and other military firearms were cleaned. I expect it is likely a Form 10 registered gun at this point.

That looks to be a private museum, thus it would not be eligible to be a form 10 gun.   Could be a Korean ppsh?  Quite a few museums have transferable guns.

All countries have famous war heroes, you just don't hear about them here, because why would you?  They are generally held in higher esteem in those countries than our guys, since history here is constantly being re-written so our heroes are now villains?   Marx and Stalin are pretty popular in places like Washington DC, NY, Chicago, Seattle, etc.

Agree, and I've seen "Goebbles" pistol for sale, but no SMG's to speak of.
