Toy/Replica East German (DDR) AK47 ?

Identification Help!? While I was visiting a friend in Nevada this summer he showed me this full sized toy AK47 he had picked up, (cheap $50.00) in Poland a couple years ago and was asking me what it was. I had never seen one like this, so was no help. Maybe one of you can help fill in the blanks. I believe it to be DDR due to the selector markings!?
The receiver and barrel are one piece solid steel (cast and machined?), with real wood furniture and a stamped steel folding stock. The magazine and top cover are removable, The bolt and carrier (one piece) are movable and can be cycled and dry fired with the trigger. The safety/selector is also functional as is the rear sight. This replica is very heavy, perhaps heavier than a real one, but it is all very crude and loose fitting. It did not appear any of the parts would interchange with a real weapon. The only markings I could see were; AK-47 stamped on the L. of the receiver and the; D - L stamped on the R. side for the selector notches.
Lookin for any help with I.D. to share with my friend. Thanks, Mike
