I had no idea those guns are worth that much! Plus, there's been cases where that model has shown up in state buybacks...makes me wonder if those were actually destroyed, or if those states sold them for a profit?

StG44s have been turning up all over Africa in the last few decades. No-one seems to know the source of them though the good old Soviet Bloc is the main suspect..
From Wikipedia:
Non-state groups
A .22 rimfire copy of the StG 44 by German Sports Guns (GSG)After World War II, the Soviet Union and other Eastern Bloc states supplied allied regimes and guerrilla movements with captured German arms such as the StG 44 along with newly manufactured or repackaged 7.92×33mm ammunition. French forces discovered many in Algeria and determined the origin to be from Czechoslovakia. Examples also found their way into the hands of the Vietcong during the Vietnam War, and the PLO.[34] It is still used in very limited numbers by militia forces in the Middle East[35] as well as some countries in the Horn of Africa. StG 44s have been confiscated from militia groups by U.S. forces in Iraq.
In August 2012, the Syrian Al-Tawhid Brigade posted a video clip on their YouTube channel showing a cache of StG 44[36] in their possession, which they claim to have captured amongst 5,000 StG 44 rifles and various ammunition from a weapons depot in the city of Aleppo.[37] Photos later surfaced of the rebels using them in combat.[32] In September 2013, a photo showed a Syrian rebel with a Sturmgewehr 44 hooked up to a remote weapon station. The gun was controlled by a wired joystick, vision was provided by a video camera mounted behind a scope, and the picture was displayed on an LCD screen.

I didn't know how to use it.”
