Well, first, all NKVD generals ( real ones) are rare; they don't often come in at all. Those with the "wave" stripes are even rarer still ( see this shot of the parade M1943 NKVD general). I have only had in 2, with a possible third on the way.
This tunic that Bill was smart enough to grab is very rare as it is a field NKVD general; rarer than a service M1943, not as rare as a parade one, but still, I have never seen another (there is one in the shalito large book, but it is later war).
The wave has yet to be solved; was it for all NKVD generals, but just used in 1943-1944, or is it for Generals of the NKGB. Its is still under debate.
