Early silver Soviet / Chekh made variations are very nicely made, of high quality, they tend to be rare and expensive.
Later Korean made pieces are made from cheap alloys and look OK from the distance. But when one takes then in his hands - you see that Koreans are frugal about the awards.
Actually the quality went donw in the 70-80s. Earlier Korean made look much better.
As for availability - late variations are quite common and are easy to find.
